Wrightie signs up to Gran Fondo - 11-03-2008
Sportive fans will be pleased to learn that Mark Wright will be joining team WKRC on the Chilterns Sportive. Expect an email to the team shortly suggesting that we get together to agree a training plan. Don't want anybody struggling on those hills do we now :-)
Those who were in France with the club a couple of years back met Richard a pal of Rumourmill. On the phone last night he let drop that he is planning to cycle the Pennine Cycleway this year. So far sounds good. Now the silly bit. He intends to cycle it in three days carrying nothing other than a bivvy bag and a sleeping bag and has never been cycle touring before in his life. This will involve 120 miles per day, sleeping rough and knowing the Pennines a fair amount of weather. Most cyclists head north so as to have the wind on their backs. Richard is going to do it North to South to add to the experience. Should be a good trip - let rumourmill know if you want me to plan similar trips for the club :-)
