Bad weekend for the recently crowned TLI National Road Race Champion (over 70's), John Ginley who was brought down in a crash on the first day of the Audlem CC 2 day 3 stage road race in south Cheshire. Thankfully it resulted in cuts and bruises rather than broken bones but it forced him to retire and spend the rest of his weekend repairing his bike.
Gary Mitchell and John Lumb the 2nd had a good day on Sunday taking part in the Ravensthorpe CC 120 mile Sutton Bank ride staying with the fast group of this popular ride which is held to raise funding for the Kirklees Cycling Acadamy. I understand Simon was also there but as KCA Coach dedicated himself to shepherding the youngsters.
Oakworth Steve and his mate Andy Myers managed to get more for their money than the rest of us when they strayed off course in the Evans Cycles King of the Pennines Sportive from Skipton College on Sunday, adding some extra miles to what was already a challenging route taking in some classic Dales climbs including Malham Cove, Darnbrook, Fleet Moss and Park Rash. I was happy with my ride in this event finishing 8th fastest out of the 100 or so on the long route according to the results (although several of those ahead of me hadn't stuck to the official route).
