CTC Tri-Vets - Reminder


On Wednesday 15th June the Wayfarers will be organising one of a number of the CTC Triennial Vets' 100 mile rides that will be held around the country.  A description of the event is here, and we have had a large number of entries already, despite minimal publicity.

In the next few days, Simon will be announcing our event on the CTC Web Site, which means that any member will easily be able to enter.  It's the first time we have done this, so we have no idea if this will mean lots more entries, or just a few.  However, we are restricted to 80 riders in total, so if you want to ride any of the Wayfarers rides on 15th June it would be wise to get your name on Simon's list as soon as possible, just in case.  Email him, or speak to him on Wednesday.

To recap, there will be three rides on the day; 100 miles, for the Tri-Vets Award; 100 kms, for a good day out; and 50 kms, which is more like a normal Wednesday ride.  The courses are all based on the Surrey Cycleway, so the terrain is fairly easy, and all are 'figures of eight' around Brockham Cricket Pavilion, so you could ride half of any of the routes, if you wanted to.  It's an easy ride from Dorking Station, there will be sandwiches and cake at the Pavilion - and there are plenty of other pubs and cafes on all of the routes, if you want to cruise in the June sunshine.

Sketches of the routes are below - I have detailed .gpx files for those that want them, and nearer the day there will be route sheets too.

But the key thing, if you're interested, is to get in touch with Simon.
