The 'Ripon Rev' - August 2018


An excellent turnout for this summer GRAC adventure, setting off in sunny but breezy weather to accompany Marianna on her inaugural club ride.
We were also joined by guest rider Glen, who showed Heyddie how to ride a bike again.

Looking fresh at the start. That look didn't last for long...
Some good fun riding through-and-off from Lofthouse to Pateley Bridge, then fortified, as usual, by beef cobs in the village café, before tackling the onerous hills back to base.

Marianna on her GRAC debut...
...and pretending to enjoy it
Club Officials Stewie (Kittymeister) and Secretary Jan. They also act as a permanent broom wagon ;-)
Hmmm....Carlos being a smartarse, as usual ;-)
Joaquim, Tommy and Alanssandro
Niall, Jan and Marianna
Note that Heyddie thinks he's still in California...
GRAC boys pretending they're Pros....yeh, right!
A great day out for all, and much revelry back at the Sastrae Mansion, where we were joined by the WAGs. Chapeau all :-)
Regrettably, four clubmen missed the event, Mario, Miguel, Alberto and The Prez, although the latter did finally turn up to claim he still needed some rehydration.

Enjoying a few Timmies and some Saltaire at the Royal Oak, Ripon
