“Sparking Clogs” Run Sunday 16 October.

Club Midweek Ride on Wednesday 12th Oct

The next Club midweek ride on Wednesday 12th Oct. will be lead by John Blanchfield. 

Meet at Ripley car park 9.45 for 10.00 start. The ride will go to Ripon then via back roads to Bedale  and on to Richmond for coffee at the Old Station cafe.

We will then ride eastwards through the lovely villages for lunch at the Bay Horse, Hutton Rudby. The ride home is over the Cleveland Hills through Osmotherley, Hawnby and High Kilburn.

The ride will finish in Boroughbridge at the far end of Morrisions car park. The distance is approx 100 miles which should leave ample time for food drink and natter.

Hope you can make it.

Date change for September’s week day HAB ride out

David has had to change the date for next month’s ride out to Tuesday 6th September owing to other commitments and not being able to find anyone else to lead a ride on the 14th.
He’s not sure of the route yet but thought expects to go to the Crown in Askrigg again for lunch.
Meet 9.45am at Ripley car park for a 10.00am start.
This is only a temporary change so back to the second Wednesday of the month from October.
David looks forward to seeing those of you who can make it on the 6th.

Christmas Lunch Ride Out – Wednesday December 14th 2016

David Haywood has reserved a table at the Bay Horse in Great Broughton earlier this year for a Christmas Lunch. This is the place we favoured last year but unfortunately left it too late to book.

He now needs to firm up on the booking so please let him know as soon as you can if you are able to join us on December 14th (or likewise if you can’t). There may be a small deposit required but he’ll advise on that later.

As last year, we’ll organise a ‘ride in’ subject to the weather (but feel free to travel by car if you prefer!).

David looks forward to hearing from you
