Hey guys hope all is well.

I'd like to put the idea of an elite ride starting on a sunday through this winter. I think for the development of the road team and the youngsters we have in the club it's crucial a ride is put on of a different type to the usual sunday run.

For the improvement of the Road team and the young talent in the club I'd like to suggest a 10'oclock ride from the plaza on a sunday. I know it's really hard to cater for everyone and I'd like to help some of the younger lads and the road team through this winter.

so I think a 50-70mile ride of mixed terrain 17-20mph starting mid november needs to be put in place. I think the lads out there know who they are, but anybody should be welcome

Dont know what you all think? but hey what do I know lol!

Rhys

100% up for that fella !! plan the ride mid week post it up on the site come rain or shine stick to the route

Spot Bollock on Rhys lad! You KNOW I am up for this! Black Mountain and Devil's Elbow here we come!!

mmmmm I'm not young or part of the road team but I'd love to have a crack..........Thank god I know my way back from anywhere in a hundred mile radius of the house cos I'll be on me own......

Don't worry Les, I'll keep you company!!!!!

me too !!!!!!!!!!!!

An excellent idea Rhys. Hope it takes off mate.

and that is exactly what the club runs in the winter used to be

Yep. I remember one Saturday riding to Carmarthen and back with a big group of us and blowing quite badly in Morriston! Then getting up the next day and doing the whole thing again!

Aye in Ma day we used to get up half hour before going to bed, ride 87 miles across boiling tarmac...... Race 50 Miiles, Then Ride home just in time to go to work in T mine........ And all on a lump of crusty bread,..........

Although I do remember some great rides to Ammanford, Llandeilo, Llagadog, over the blacks and back to Neath before riding home to Glyncorrwg and then go to the club dinner

In ma day we used to do it three times....

And we lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

Of Course............ Now we had it tough....
