A club run of two halves - 19th May 2013

Sunday weather was still and warm once the early morning chill had lifted. Twenty six riders turned up in the Market Square - with a few being away on holiday or competing in the St Neots Nicetri Sprint Triathlon, this was a good turn-out. It was a small Group 1, made even smaller by the defection of Wayne and David to Group 2 at the last minute.

"Voiceless it cries, wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouthless mutters"

Yet another cold Sunday morning awaited SNCC outside Caffe Nero, but the skies were bright and clear and 17 Group 2 riders left the Market Square and weaved up through the pockmarked roads of Eynesbury to Little Barford.

Seven hardy Group 2ers brave the cold

Sunday 10th March

"And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here"
