[VC Walcot] VC Walcot 5th Anniversary Ride: Sat 1st Oct

[Nick Rearden]

Sounds absolutely great to me and I will endeavour to be there as long as you promise to be leisurely with me.

Any news on the 5th Anniversary jerseys? I'm due to ride the Ronde de Picardie this weekend with the CC Islington (don't ask) and obviously want to hold my own in such stylish company.

Howdy All,
 
Hot(-ish) on the coat tails of Ian's post on Facebook relating to the Open Hill climb I'd like you to, if possible, put this little event in your diaries.
 
On 1st Nov 2006 (or near as dammit) Pete set up the club. The first club run headed out sometime in that month. The exact dates and route are a bit foggy but Pete assures me they went up Kingsdown and out through Monkton Farleigh and on towards Bradford on Avon.
 
So 1st Oct, in honour of the first club run, we're going to do the same and then beyond to take in some club related highlights such as the TT courses at Great Chalfield and Westwells Road plus (if I can shoe horn it in and weather permits!) a trip up St Catherine's where we held our first club hill climb event. Route distance should be no more than 50km and will be at a leisurely pace. The idea is to get as many people out for a good ride and a natter. If we find a nice place/pub to stop on the way we will. Freeriding in a road stylee!
 
Grand Depart: 9am at Chelsea Rd Cafe (come early and have breakfast http://thechelseacafe.co.uk/)
Finish: Guildhall (photo opportunity for website banner beckons)
Apres ride: we'll see what the weather's doing and decide on the day but ice creams by the river was always one of my favourites!
 
We haven't really done a big, fun club event in a while so hopefully together with the Open Hill Climb we can have an enjoyable VC Walcot weekend.
 
I'll see you there.
 
Laurie.
