"That was fun Daddy, can we do it again next weekend?" said Evan and Caitlin at bedtime last night. Our family ride yesterday was brilliant and shows in fine style the strength of Cycle Sport Pendle.
Our ride started from Seedhill running track just after 10am and took us along the canal towpath to Cafe Cargo at Foulridge. We joined the little ones and the less ambitious, whilst the braver and bigger took alternative and more challenging routes.
Seeing the might of the Orange Army take over the Cafe was a sight to behold. I'm sure the manager was equally impressed, or at least he might be today after looking at his takings, he looked a little stressed at the height of action however. Apparently someone had the audacity to order poached eggs on brown toast ... how dare they!
Our family mileage with 4 x 13miles ended up as 52 miles (the benefit of working for a bank is you get used to sums!) Adding this to the estimated cumulative total from the other 44 rider should give us well over 1000 miles towards our 25000 mile target.
A huge well done to all. Lets do it again. Where to next week?
Next week we should participate in a 100 mile sportive!! Easy!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Payne family's contribution on Sunday amounted to around 97 miles! I think we might have to cycle around the world twice!
