Club Run Reports Sunday 15th May 2016

Cat 3 run led by Barry P
Seven wheelers braved the sun and chill on a 60m tour of Essex.The roads out through Roydon, Epping, Theydon, Garnon, Passiingford Bridge, Kelvedon Hatch, Blackmore were busy with cyclists enjoying the sun but wishing they had knee warmers and gillets !  After refreshments we returned via Norton heath ,Willingale ,Fyfield ,Moreton ,Matching Green, Sawbridgeworth. No punctures or mechanicals (or crashes !)

Cat 5 run led by Sarah W
Seven out on this week’s Cat 5 from Much Hadham.  Not much to report other than a very pleasant ride to Saffron Walden out through Manuden, Ugley and Widdington and back through Wendon’s Ambo, Arkesden, Ford End and Stocking P.

Cat 6 run led by Bob B
With scheduled ride leader Danny North still hors de combat after his nasty crash, there was no designated leader for this rare visit to Goffs Oak Garden Centre. Mike “I’m off to Wembley to see Grimsby Town in the playoff final, so I’ll have to dash off home when we get to the cafe ” East agreed to guide us to the venue. Fifteen set off in gorgeous weather and got to the café without incident for hot drinks and cake.  With Mike off on his way to Wembley, Bruno stepped up to the plate to guide us home via a lot of hills! With only one pinch puncture after a pothole incident (victim wishes to remain anonymous), the group made it back all together, having enjoyed the challenge of a different route to the regular favourites.
