Congleton Cycling Club

Cyclists endure 80 and 110 mile Reliability Rides

Six club members rode the Lyme Racing Club’s Reliability Rides. Neil Skellern, Karl Austin and Mark Tilstone were in the “fast group” and Mary Renshaw, Bob Norton, Peter Nelson, Les Lancaster and Brendan Mc Gloughlan were in the “slow group”.

On 3^rd February, the 80 mile ride through Staffordshire and Shropshire was held in very windy but dry conditions. On 10^th February, the riders enjoyed glorious weather although it was bitterly cold for the first two hours. However, the “fast group” on the 110 mile ride to Llangollen had to contend with foggy and cold conditions between leaving the 80 mile route at Wem and returning to Ellesmere. Meeting old friends and acquaintances from other clubs in the Stoke area and from as far a field as Yorkshire and the Midlands always adds spice and interest to these rides.
