Clarion Tea Rooms

As is traditional at this time of year I had better write up our ride by way of a few 'thank you' notes:
to Chris - for popping in home to make butties for our picnic. Anyone else would have stayed at home but Chris is a stalwart and provided turkey sandwiches at a moment's notice. He also was out despite having to ride stood-up the entire way (don't ask; let it suffice to say that Lance Armstrong used the same excuse for a raised cortisol level in 1999)
to Steve T - for sensible riding and flying the Condor flag so far from the bright lights of Brighouse (aka centre of the universe, apparently)
to Steve B - for coming out to join us at the Clarion
to Phil - for providing chocolate treats, and keeping his new gloves clean
to Gary - for getting a 2nd round of tea (and certainly not for attacking on every hill)
to Peter - for suggesting today's route and leading the way through the back end of Burnley
and to cyclists everywhere - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


Peter writes..............................
And the same to Ian, especially for his delicious Christmas cake. A fine day out in glorious weather, here's a few pics.

Better day I guess than mine manning the flood defences in York to prevent my son's house flooding. See you new years day

  2. Hope you were successful in your efforts Richard,unfortunately we weren't very lucky and fell victims to the deluge. When people are rallying round, volunteering to help with accommodation and clearing up the mess it's good to see the typically insensitive Condor meeting in the middle of a disaster area for a leisure activity and proudly smiling for a photo.
