Hi wheelers, it’s the start of challenge ride season again. The first up is the Northallerton 50/4, this Sunday 17th March, departing 09.30 from Ayton high green car park. 4 hrs to complete the route, finishing at the Stokesley sign, with John kelly signing you off, either in the town square next to the toilets and the flower pots, or in his car outside the town hall, depending on the weather. Usual challenge ride rules apply, please depart in ability order from Ayton, fastest riders first, and please keep things tidy heading out through Stokesley high street and Hutton rudby bank! remember it’s not a race!
The challenge rides are not lead rides and it’s up to the participants to navigate the route arriving back within 4 hrs. Having said that it’s the trend these days for groups to form before departure. I’m happy to lead a medium paced group, as long as I can manage to not fall off again on Skutterskelfe bend.
Please arrive at Ayton in good time to sign on, and enjoy the ride. Cheers, Dave K
Don’t forget it’s the CTC 50 in 4 reliability ride to Brompton on Sunday, 11 February 2024. It starts at 9:00 am from Marton shops.
Note that this ride is organised by the local branch of Cycling UK/CTC and not Cleveland Wheelers.
For further information please refer to the event Facebook page.
On Wednesday 17th January 2024, Lawrie Dryden’s funeral cortege will be taking him from his home on St Mary’s Walk, Acklam to St Hilda’s chapel at Teesside Crematorium on Acklam Road. This is a relatively short journey in terms of distance, but not in significance.
To remember his love and passion for cycling, riders are invited to accompany Lawrie, on this journey, which will leave just before 11am.
The funeral at St Hilda’s will be a small family gathering with a few close friends including the group which he regularly rode with, who will take him on his very last part of the journey into the crematorium.
Please remember that the open memorial service to celebrate Lawrie’s life is at 2pm at the Jubilee Church, Yarm Road, Stockton so there is an opportunity to take a ride out to one of Lawrie’s favourite local café stops prior to this. There are secure cycle parking facilities at the Jubilee church.
If you wish to ride with Lawrie, please meet in the end of Ambleside Grove, just off St Mary’s Walk, in Acklam at 10:45am.
