HTRC Training Ride #8
The eighth HTRC training ride took place on Saturday 23rd November with some fine weather upon us. However we could have had all the sun we had hoped for, the effects of the previous night’s dinner (and alcohol consumption) took it’s toll on numbers with just the five turning out.

HTRC Road Race Training Ride #7 – ** Alternative **
Alternative (part) Pantomime-themed report. Seeing as it’s nearly pantomime season I thought I’d try and weave the theme into the report.

Road Race Training Ride #7
The seventh HTRC winter training ride took place on Saturday 17 November. It’s been six weeks since we started these sessions and they’ve proved very successful thus far and the seventh ride proved to be no different.

Before Mark Walker’s HTRC Training Ride #5 we took the liberty to photograph several riders rear derailleurs with a view to allow readers to see what kit is being used…

Road race training ride #5
The Fifth HTRC end of season training ride took place on Saturday 2nd November. The weather wasn’t as good as last week, yet we still had 16 riders showing up making it an even better turnout than last week and the best attended of the sessions so far.

There will be another introduction to racing session on Saturday morning. All are welcome to attend. We meet at Skidby Mill car park ready for a 9.30am start. From Skidby the ride distance will be about 40 miles, mainly at a steady pace.
We will of course wait for anyone who gets dropped when the pace or the incline increases. Hope to see you all on Saturday.

Hi all. Looking for some inspirational ideas. Neil and Amanda Dean and I are considering organising a Sportive in Barry Trotter's memory along similar lines to the Big G. It would be a stand alone event and the date is provisionally set as 7th or 8th of July 2018. We will be using Bishop Burton as HQ but using new routes.
As many of you will know Barry was a lifelong member of Hull Thursday Road Club and put a tremendous amount of time, effort and commitment into the clubs activities over many years. This culminated in him organising the East Yorkshire Classic Road Race in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
We hope the event would be just as successful as the Big G which was a fitting tribute to another great Hull Thursday member who is also sadly missed and fondly remembered.
Help is needed for suggestions for a name for the event.
Please feel free to post your suggestions here. We look forward to reading your suggestions.
Many thanks
Paul
