Alternative (part) Pantomime-themed report.  Seeing as it’s nearly pantomime season I thought I’d try and weave the theme into the report.

Before the group group setup things looked pretty focussed for the session.

Neil proudly zipped up his HTRC ready for the off, though he was feeling a little peckish, unfortunately for Will.

Will screamed “No! It cannot be my turn to feed Neil.”

Neil grinned “Oh yes it can”.

Will went through the drill and fed Neil his banana (this is a bit of a lie as the finger poking the banana rightly belongs to Neil’s better half) but this report is meant to be a bit of fun.

Smart Beverley Velo clobber was displayed, though I’m a little unsure about the matching glasses the shade of blue doesn’t quite match the top, not a bad effort though.

Andy tops up his breakfast before setting off.

After hitting a crater-sized pot hole, the first puncture of the day reared it’s ugly head.

Dave W soon busied himself repairing the puncture, assisted (AGAIN) by the official photographer and Neil D. Things wouldn’t have been so bad but Neil started telling us about the size of a fish he’d caught recently (again this is a complete fib but it helps set up the next picture without any innuendo).

 

Neil tells us the fish was this big…

A tough sprint at the end of the two loops of the Etton RR circuit began by George doing a poor Greipel Gorilla celebration…

Andy celebrating rider of the day.  Well done Andy!  An inspiration to all of us and everyone!

Dave W celebrating fixing his puncture in record time.

And finally the group came to a rest after a fine morning of Autumnal cycling.
Thanks again to everyone.

 

Happy Riding.
