Cleveland Wheelers

Hi wheelers. Just a reminder that this Sunday the 18th May it is the Cleveland wheelers mountain challenge (former tourist trial). This will take place instead of the club run and leaves Ayton tourist info car park at 9am. So please be there for 8.50 for your ride brief , sign on and pay £1 entry fee. Route handouts will be available. The standard route (45.1miles) takes us all the way through the Esk valley to Glaisdale where we descend through the town, then turn right at the phone box (signposted Glaisdale only) to head up caper hill. Then left and right towards Rosedale, right in rosedale and head back up to Ralph’s cross, straight over and back through westerdale and Hob hole to finish outside Suggits Ayton. 4hrs cut off time. We also have the addition of a bonus route (53miles) which goes straight on up Rosedale chimney over to Hutton Le hole, Farndale, church houses and Blakey bank before picking the main route back up at Ralph’s cross. Remember if you do the bonus route the cut off time is still 4 hrs. Brian Bevis will be back officiating and he’s very strict with his cut off times! Remember this is a self supporting ride, no route signs, back up or feed stations! Please see challenge rides on website for further details at http://www.clevelandwheelers.com
See you all there. Dave k

The mixed ability social / training ride will be on as normal Tuesday night meeting at Ayton tourist info car park at 6pm for 6.10 set off. I hear that it’s not been so mixed ability the last few weeks when Iv not been there. So this week I’m putting the clamp back on! We can do the commondale bus stop run. The offenders of not taking it easy enough on the steady riders will be expected to do hill repeats on one or both of the last 2 hills over commondale, steadier riders can turn around earlier to even it all out. See you all there. Dave k
