***PLEASE READ***
As many of you will be aware, next year will be the 40th anniversary of Wednesday Wheelers and it has been suggested that we arrange a social ride for all members to lunch at the same venue. You should all have received an email invitation to a Summer Ride event on Wednesday 28th August this year as a trial for next year’s celebration. The venue for lunch is The Aldwark arms and we will be able to have a sandwich and chips - normal price is £7 but the committee have decided to subsidise the event so the price is reduced to £5 - good value in our opinion.
For obvious reasons we are unable to ride as one group to Aldwark, so there will be 5 or 6 rides to Aldwark using various routes and elevenses stops. Some may want to get a decent ride in before arriving at Aldwark and we are able to accommodate that. For example, Ride 1A will be starting at 0900hrs and heading out via Strensall, Yearsley and Coxwold before arriving at Aldwark after 40 miles. I expect Ride 1B to do similar. Other rides will have elevenses stops at Thorp Arch/Wetherby, Easingwold and Sutton on Forest.
All official rides that day will be to Aldwark and the current rides list will be amended to this effect.
Those that don’t want to attend the event can still ride on that day to one of the original destinations or some other location but please note that they will not be official Wednesday Wheelers rides.
A final request - we have only received around 45 responses so far (most of which are positive) but request that everyone reply if possible, even if it’s to say that NO you are not going, so that we have a clear idea of what numbers we are dealing with.
Thanks for your continued support
