penultimate midweek event. 29 August

[lajames]

Well, weather more like it was at the beginning of the season, but that didn,t stop you real men from having a go on something other than an aero. Steve Landeg turned up on a ladies mountain bike, Andy Harries rode an actual ladies bike. Chris Tasker Turned out on a Brompton, and rode in shirt, jacket and tie. It was lovely to see everyone getting into the frame of mind that was needed for this event.

Thanks to all who participated and helped. We have had a number of entries for our handicap event next week, so looking forward to helping out in the last of the midweek events for 2013. See you there.

Hi Lynne

I hear Andy has been practicising TDF stages on said ladies mountain bike, so maybe he should have had a handicap for this event! 

Thanks to you and all the others who selflessly give up their time to make these events happen, unfortunately I have not been able to ride as many as I would have liked this year, but from the looks of the results, numbers have been up on last year.

I am away with work next week so wish all taking part the best of luck in the handicap.

Thanks
Shawn

Great Event !

The three lucky winners of the category draw were;

Stephen Landeg. Womans Mountain Bike
Andy Harries. Ladies Road Bike and;
Chris Tasker. Brompton - full kit.

We now need a set of prizes for them to be given at the Roadmans Night Out at the Red Fox Penllyne in October. Another night to remember no doubt. Here we informally celebrate the years events with a light meal and a pint or two. Retro gear is worn and the landlord allows us to put up posters/flags etc.

More news on this later but please think now about the prize you will donate to these worthy winners. It's to be well loved but no longer needed cycling memorabilia, as much as we can throw at them really ! ! !

Many thanks to time keepers and other organizers, very enjoyable evening.

Do we have a date for the Roadman's Night Out?

Shawn, no need for handicapping, the trick is to make sure you have an obscure category that you can't fail to win!
