Roundhay Park, Leeds, 7.15 am Sunday May 3rd. I’m forcing down two cheese rolls in the shelter of the Mavic tent, unfortunately unheated, watching walls of rain sweep across the queues waiting to start the Tour de Yorkshire sportive. The sponsors’ flags are threatening to break free of their stands, and I’m wondering if I can cycle in this for 6 hours or so. But we’re lucky these days to have accurate weather forecasts and I am concentrating on two positive thoughts – the wind is at our backs for the first 20 miles and will die down later, and the rain will stop before we get back to Leeds.

Cycling Club
As Dave Kirton is away until mid week I have been asked to sort Tuesday night’s club/training ride.
So out to Commondale bus stop we go, then back around to Ayton. If it’s raining and cold we can do Clay Bank repeats instead to stay sheltered by the trees. If a fast group wants to chain gang the lanes then that’s up to them.
Meet at Great Ayton car park for 18.00 to set off asap.
Thanks and see you all there.

I can now confirm that Simon Schofield, a freelance writer for Cycling Weekly and his photographer, Russell, will be coming to visit the Club Run on Sunday, 31 May. This should have been the date for the Mountain Challenge Ride but Simon is just after a 90 minute to two hour ride with a café stop and not “crammed full of hills” as he says this doesn’t make for good group photos. So I’m afraid the Mountain Challenge Ride has been rescheduled for Sunday, 2 August.
Please find the results of last week’s Evening Series here.
Apologies for the late appearance, they’ve been lost in cyberspace since last Sunday!
