What a pity, the photos of the event look fantastic and have really whetted my appetite for having a go at this ride.John Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821136227984779967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5801131347881693774.post-21149566323424999472010-04-05T19:33:19.454+01:002010-04-05T19:33:19.454+01:00so the dust has settled on the first RVOL. Chapeau...so the dust has settled on the first RVOL. Chapeau to Alan who for a long time has freted over this ride, will people turn up? what if too many people turn up, what if they don't like the route etc all those that have stepped up to the plate and organised a ride will empathise with Alan. <br />A busy day signing in miserable weather left us feeling the route was good and hoping the weather was going to be good for us on Saturday. (although Al was secretly hoping for enough rain to create some Lancastrian toothpaste)<br />What a sight turning into the carpark and seeing bikes being unloaded from so many cars. <br />Great to see the young guns from Cycle Sport Pendle hitting the front and cranking the pace and Ian proving he is barking by riding a fixed and matching the pace at the front!!<br />We had sunshine, a great bunch of people riding, a punishing route in fantastic surroundings.<br />so the big question is, will it be an annual event? I for one hope it will be and we see it grow and develop (a further cobbled climb has been mentioned to Al so I know he will be trying to work it into any future route).<br />Now to sort all those problems those pesky cobbles found!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15046671213035833193noreply@blogger.com
