Whilst Covid is still ever present in the news, it seems an age since lockdown stopped our rides for over 12 months. Our club runs have now been back on, every Sunday and Tuesday evening since June, we've had a very successful weekend in South Lakeland, and are now looking forward to our annual Christmas Lunch.
We hope you've all got through the last eighteen months unscathed and have enjoyed a fabulous summer out on the bike, whether that be alone, with friends, or even better, with ourselves. If you weren't on any of our rides, please give us a try, it's much more fun riding in company, and you'll discover some new routes which you've never imagined could exist right on your own doorstep.
With the exception of one ride last September, this was our first official club ride since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, in March 2020!. It's hard to believe, that, as a group, we've been effectively closed for over 12 months.
It was great to meet up again today with seven of us setting off from Whalley under a cloudy sky, even with the prospects of rain on the horizon.
Members of Cycling UK member group Burnley and Pendle CTC's committee were recently awarded 'Going the Extra Mile' lifetime achievement certificates for their joint voluntary service of over 120 years. We find out more about them and the kind of cycling they enjoy from the group's current secretary John Ramsden
It's hard to believe it's two years since our last weekend away. Having got club runs up and running again in June, it was about time we had another weekend away, so eight of us opted for a couple of days in South Lakeland. basing ourselves in Ulverston, with six staying in the Premier Inn, and a further two at Bardsea Leisure Caravan site just down the road.
We will be holding our annual Christmas Ride / Lunch on Sunday 12th December 2021 at Rolls Royce Social Club, Skipton Road, Barnoldswick.
As usual, we will be running a short ride before lunch, starting from the R.R Social Club at 10am, returning at 2:30pm for lunch at 3pm.
Lunch will be followed by presentation of the Jack Harrison and Bill Heywood trophies.
If you want to attend the lunch, a copy of the menu is attached to this e-mail. Please return your menu selection and payment of £21 per person to a member of the committee by the end of the month, as final payment and numbers must be returned to Rolls Royce at the beginning of November.
