I am Mike Newton of GASBAGS (Great Ayton & Stokesley Biking & Guzzling Society). I cycled last year 1450 miles from Hungary to Home, and have now published a Kindle book about the ride.
“Two Grandads & an Alien cycle from Hungary to Home – Kindle Book.” The sub-title of the book is “Three over-60 year old men cycle over 1450 miles from Budapest through Hungary, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands, and past Lake Balaton, Lake Worthersee and Lake Constance.
Calling all Nunthorpe residents or club members living in and around Nunthorpe.
You know those cute little blue & yellow bikes you see around the area, hung on walls or propped against trees. Like this one in Stokesley…
Well how would you like to paint one? Or better still, how would your kids like to paint one? Nunthorpe council are looking for volunteers, young & old, to paint some bikes for the Tour de Yorkshire. They will provide (and drop off) the bikes and the paint and leave you to it!
If you’d like to get involved email councillor Lesley McGloin at Lesleymcgloin@aol.com
If you do paint a bike (or bikes) take some photos of the work in progress and send them to us for this page.
Please read the press release from Middlesbrough Council about helping out with next year’s edition of the Tour de Yorkshire.
The annual bring & buy sale will take place at 7pm on Friday 30th October in Stokesley Town Hall. It’s the ideal opportunity to buy and sell bike bits, kit, accessories, you name it. It’s also a great social event, a chance to catch up with your mates over a coffee and a superb selection of cakes.
A PDF is available here.
There is a cycle-related talk taking place at Marton Library on Thursday 15th October. Full info is given below and in this PDF file.
