Hi wheelers. It’s time to put to the test all them endurance miles you have all been putting in. This Sunday 22nd July is our 100 mile challenge ride. Free to enter, sign on is at Marton Shops from 08.40 for a 9am roll out. The route heads over to Croft, Barton, Barnard Castle, the Stang, Reeth, Grinton moor, and returning back via layburn and Catterick. Finishing at fletchers farm, 8hr cut off. Please see the link to the website for details and the route. I would imagine there being at least 2 groups, steady and medium, however I must remind people that this is not a lead club run and it’s up to individuals to be familiar with the route and be fully prepared. Having said that the 100 challenge is usually a calmer affair with most riders happy to make it in to a social ride. Not done 100 miles before? Then a perfect opportunity to give it a go. If anyone wishes to set off earlier than the 8.40 sign on then they are welcome to do so and report back to fletchers farm. I will take your word that you have completed the course. Let’s hope for some nice weather and see you all there. Thanks, Dave k

Hi wheelers, apols for the late reminder. I have attached the link below to
enter the club 25TT on Sunday 17th June, organised by Richard Lilleker. This
was previously the Swainby-pinchinthorpe-swainby course, however due to that
course throwing up traffic problems it has been relocated on to the Stockton
wheelers Bishopton course. Entry closes on the 5th so best get your entries
in quick. Apols again for the late notice. Thanks, Dave k
Hi wheelers. It’s mountain challenge time again. This Sunday 27th May, 9am depart from Ayton tourist info car park. Finish Flecthers farm cafe. Please follow the link below for further details. Any new riders to the club, come and give it a go. However select your route carefully. The mileage may not be huge as is the trend these days, however we have squeezed about as many hills in as possible. The standard route is difficult, and the killer route is, as suggested by the title a killer. 19 significant climbs in it. Please come fully prepared and self supported for the ride and try to familiarise yourselves with your chosen route, navigating the route is part of the challenge. See you all there. Dave k
Hi Wheelers. Just a few more days left if you would like to pre enter the Evening series. Closing date 15th April. As club members you can of course just turn up. However the preferred option is that you pre enter so that we can pre arrange marshals for each event. Everyone who enters the evening series helps out at one event each. Please follow the links below for further details and links to entry and info. Thanks, Dave k

Hi wheelers. Well Tuesday evening club runs are upon us again. 6pm Ayton ready for 6.10 start. Regroup at the Buck in Ayton between 7.30-8pm if you wish. Thanks to the winter crew who have kept things going on and off over the dark nights.
When we first started these Tuesday night a few years ago we mainly did short local loops or hill repeats to cater for the different abilities. In the last couple of years it’s evolved more towards ability group club rides. I’d like to mix it up a bit between both these systems if possible. It all depends who turns up and what everyone wants to do of course. It’s your club run, you can do what you wish. If anyone has ideas of rides or training routines they wish to do then please speak up on the night or put your idea forward beforehand. The only thing I ask is that more experienced club riders can scan around the car park to identify newer or steadier riders and make sure they are catered for. I’d like to avoid steadier riders being battered out of the back door of a fast group if possible, of course if a steadier riders chooses to go fast group to test themselves that’s absolutely fine as long as they are aware they may end up being tailed off. I think to begin with this Tuesday we should just keep it simple and have 2 or 3 ability groups head off to do a ride. See you all there. Thanks, Dave k
