CRABWOOD NEWSLETTER CHRISTMAS 2022

Hi Crabwood. It’s been a while since the last newsletter. So, I thought it was time for another one. After a nice long hot dry summer the weather has finally gone back to normal, combined with not many hours of daylight it really is a fun time to go out on your bike.

      The club events went well this year with Pat, Colin, Claire and myself running 2 events each. This worked very well and spread the workload around. How-ever number of entrants was quite low, with one event just having two CCC riders. 

      The club trip to Le Tour took place this year after a two-year absence. We had a very hot week in the Pyrenees. The climbs were long and tough (or am I just past it?). With the Peyresourde finishing me off with the temperature on my Garmin hitting 45C. We all had a good time in a really nice location (well done Claire)

                                      Lake Genos, Loudenvielle.  Our chalet 2^nd one on the left.

The Mince pie run 18^th December. Meet at Eling Toll Bridge at 10.00 for those daft enough to cycle. For the sensible people meet 12.00 at The New Forest wildlife park, Deerleap lane, Longdown SO40 4UH.

The Geoff Shergold Memorial cyclo-cross at the Sports centre 22^nd January. Volunteers please. Contact Kerie for details. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 07850 172929

                                                                                WHY?

Our Prize presentation lunch is on Saturday 4^th March, 12.30pm, at the Empress of Blandings, Romsey Road, Copythorne  SO40 2PF (upstairs function room).  Tickets are £15pp to include a buffet lunch.     

Please could anyone with club trophies, return them to Claire.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Bah Humbug.  Alan.
