Hi all,

For all you who missed out on the Spring Classic, I will be running a Summer G Ride on the 21st June. (And for those who enjoyed the first version!)

9am at the Tuns.

Approx 65 miles. Lunch stop at Ardeley. Probably 6 - 7 hours including lunch and puncture fixing.

Clockwise route but still including many of the Classic sections and a couple of new finds. Final route will be released in a couple of weeks.

If we have more than 10 riders we will split into 2 groups to cut down on puncture waiting time.

Mark.

    Thanks Mark! Two groups if more than 10 is very sensible.

    Clockwise should be interesting, downhill on the Dassels berg will be an experience. Count me in!

    Just bringing this back to the top as a reminder.

    Expecting a couple of Pell's as well.

    I'm not going to be able to do this now. I've conceded to the pressure of not going out on a ride on Father's Day on my own, so I will be doing the Baldock Cycle Challenge with Joseph.

    Have fun.

    Thanks for organising this Mark. Noah really enjoyed his longest ever ride. He is a bit tired now.

    Well done to all. And no punctures :-)
  • Senecio [Daniel D]Senecio [Daniel D]
    Great route Mark, thank you. I enjoyed the cornfield!

    Incredible puncture record.
  • JeremyPJeremyP
    No punctures?!?

    That is truly incredible after April's ride. Hopefully you were able to recreate the spring classic vibe after Saturday's rain. Wish I could have joined you.

    Cheers Mark for arranging this. I very much enjoyed the ride and route; I had no idea that a road bike would be able to cope with that level of punishment.

    Btw - Well done to Noah on his longest ride. Judging by how well he went at this evening's chain gang he recovered pretty well - impressed!
