First
of all it's the Spa social day once again. This year its on Saturday
17th January, same as last year. We will meet at 9am at Higherford
for a cycle ride over to Waddington Café for a brew stop, then cycle
back home to get changed and meet at the Spa for just before 2pm
ready for our two hours relaxing in the Spa.
Then we have time for a drink at a local hostelry before moving
on to the Spice of India for our five course meal at 6pm.
Then afterwards it's on to the Star Cycling Club for a few extra
drinks and maybe a sing-along like last time. The price for the
Spa and Meal is £22 per person.
Next
is the annual club ride up to the New Inn at Clapham, its on Sunday
February 8th 2009, meet at Higherford at 9.30am for a steady ride
over Bowland Knots to Clapham where we have dinner and a couple
of drinks before the ride home. Great social day, a must for cyclists
and family alike.
There
is also going to be another YHA weekend on February 21st .If you
are interested in going can you let me know ASAP.The destination
is Coniston in the Lake District.
Then
we are into the racing season, and we all know that it's all hands
to pumps for the Circuit of the Dales, this year it's on Sunday
April 5th. If you are not racing Steve would be very grateful if
you can help. Give him a bell and offer your assistance.
Also in April the evening league will be starting over at Kildwick
once again, not sure on exact dates but will let you all know as
soon as I find out. Remember there is a trophy up for grabs for
the fastest Wheeler over 4 of these events. On the first Bank Holiday
in May it's the Wheelers Weekend at Cockermouth in the Lake District.
We have the 10 mile time trial on Saturday afternoon and the 25
mile time trial on the Sunday morning. Some of us will be camping
just outside Cockermouth at Wyburn Park campsite from Friday night,
come along and join us for this great weekend. If you can help out
with any of the races please contact either Chris Smedley or Pete
Heywood.
We are trying to get a club clothing order in before the racing
season so if anyone needs any other club clothing please could you
let Steve or Julie Moorhouse know ASAP, we need at least 15 items.
Just a quick note to the racing members please try and let people
know which events you are riding and we may be able to better some
of the team results we had last year, and its great to show club
strength.
