The last winter ride was held on 7 April and 10 people turned up for a quick blast around the lower reaches of Whitbarrow followed by a slap-up feast in the Gilpin Bridge afterwards. An awards ceremony was held and no-one went away empty handed.
Please see below a summary of the results, note some award categories has slightly changed from the earlier post following extensive committee deliberations:
Token Girly Award - who else = Charlie
The Apollo 13 Award - For boldly going... = George & Paul
Camilla Parker Bowles Award - Camo & Bling = Joel
The Ivana Trump Award - For retail excess (not just a seatpost but a whole bike!)= Ian
The Prince Charles in Klosters Award - Having all the gear but no biking = Phil
Lead Balloon Award - Fast descents & broken frame, again! = Jamie
Best Mechanical Fault - Ended ride within 100 yds of car! = Charlie (a frozen freewheel)
The Lada Cars Awards - Mechanical excellence = Jim
The Paparzzi Award - Team photographer = James
The Smelly Old Dog Award - usual old excuses = Paul (for racking up the most...)
Hans Christian Anderson Award - Excuses bordering on fairly tales - Chris
The British Rail Award - Same old excuse = Trevor & Harry (still no lights)
The Vicky Pollard Award - Gibberish excuse (Yeah but, Yeah but..) = George
The Big Girl's Blouse Award - For a excuse with a twist - Grant "I won't be able to come unless my wife becomes really ill"
A big 'Thank You' to the committee, sponsors and all the Winter crew, good luck for next season.
The first official summer ride is at 6:00 pm on Thursday 14th April 2005 from Barley Bridge, Staveley. We don't have any other rides on the list yet so come along with your ideas and contribute to the programme for 2005.
