Roger Davies 100mile unicycle record attempt. 9th July, Croft circuit.

Hi, wheelers.

Club member Roger Davies is going to be attempting to break the 100 mile none geared unicycle record on Thursday 9th July using Croft circuit. Roger is aiming for around 6hrs. Rogers mate Sam Wakeling is going to ride a geared unicycle and attempt the 100 miles in 5hrs 45mins, an impressive target.

Please find more detailed information below

http://100.samwakeling.com/

Roger has asked if any of the club members are about and would like to come along and support. We are looking for cyclists who can bring us food and water during the event. We are also looking for people to do lap counting. Guinness are demanding quite a few people for the monitoring so the more people we can get there the better… or if anyone just wants to come along for the spectacle.

We have access to the site from 9:00 and intend to start by 10:00. That should mean we should be finished by 16:00.

Thanks, Roger Davies.

Tuesday night club run, June 23rd, 6pm. Ayton.

Hi, all. Tuesday night club run meeting as usual, Ayton tourist info car park at 6 pm for 6.10 set off. All welcome. The weather’s looking much better than today, although far from boiling! Still waiting for summer to arrive? It’s good enough for us to do the Commondale bus stop run though, with the extra option for a circuit back around Castleton and Dibble bridge for anyone who wants to do the circular route. Also the option for a fast group to do a ride around the lanes. I’m free to come out myself this week so see you all there.

Tuesday night club run 16th June. 6pm. Ayton tourist info car park

Hi wheelers. Tuesday night club run on as normal, meeting at Ayton tourist info car park at 6pm for 6.10 set off, all welcome. Apols the post is out late this week, it’s been a busy weekend. Weathers looking good this week for the pub stop afterwards. So how about some 3 sides of Clay bank repeats as I know how much you all love them? Ride out steady in ability groups to Easby, Ingleby, towards Broughton then left and head up the steep side of clay bank. Descend left down towards Chop Gate, turn around with caution! at farm entrance on right a few hundred meters past the bottom, then climb back up and descend long side towards broughton. Turn around with caution at the white gate farm track entrance on the right. Climb the long side, then repeat as many times as you wish? Or spectate at the top. Will regroup and head back about 7.15-7.30ish. I won’t be there again this week ;-(. Late shift I’m afraid. So please try and ensure a steady group forms in the car park if necessary rather than trying to exhausts the steady riders before they even reach the climbs. Have a good ride.

Cheers, Dave

Harrogate TDF ride. 13th June / Nocturne ride 19th June

Hi all of you doing the Harrogate TDF ride tomorrow. Right, the ride is ON! It was looking like we might have to cancel earlier this week, however the weather looks slightly improved with light rain, although it seems to change every time I look. Just a couple of things to bear in mind. We don’t have a backup car this year so please make sure you have plenty of spares with you, good tyres, tubes, patches, tyre boots, chain links, chain tools, pump, plenty of money, all that sort of thing. Also wear appropriate clothing plus a rain cape. We’re looking at 10-12deg and possible heavy showers with a north easterly wind. Very different from today. See those of you who are prepared to brave it tomorrow as planned.

Whilst I’m on, just a reminder that if you can’t make the TDF ride the next organised ride is Paul Christons Nocturne ride next Friday 19th. Please see attached links to the website for both rides.

Thanks, Dave
