The riders thanked Bob and wished him \u201cAll The Best\u201d for his forthcoming heart surgery.<\/p>\n<p><b>14<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; Stone Wheelers 25-mile TT on Uttoxeter Course<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Our two representatives recorded their best rides of the year: Kelvin Milward \u2013 56:45 and Pete Smith \u2013 57:08.

Denise Hurst, Charli Alston, Mike Line, Marcus Rohrmann and Jamie Gibbons (Guest), plus Peter Hayhurst (who turned for home near Nantwich), rode at chatting speed, via Hassall Green, Haslington, Weston, Wybunbury and Peckforton, to old Ma\u2019s Caf\u00e9 at Gatesheath. They had a lucky escape when a large oak tree crashed into the road only 30 yards ahead \u2013 but they managed to stop, just in time, and then formed a chain to hand their bikes over the tree. The return route, mainly wind-assisted, was via Huxley, Bunbury, Calverley, Church Minshull, Warmingham, Smallwood and Astbury where the heavy rain commenced, so they were soaking in no time \u2013 but pleased that it had been a dry ride until then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14th Clubrun to Fairways, Sutton \u2013 31 miles Bob Banner organised this ride, in surprisingly warm, calm and bright conditions, leading Bev Hambleton, Mark Allen, David Grocott, Peter Hayhurst and David McVitie via Brereton Country Park, Davenport \/ Dane Valley, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/?p=3846\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3846\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
