The annual Ebrington Cycle Meet

[Sean Barker]

We have been asked to bring the following event to the attention of our members

 

A quick reminder that your club is invited on the first Sunday in October (i.e. 2nd October

 

 this year) to the annual Ebrington Cycle Meet for all cyclists in this area.  Please join other cyclists and clubs for an end of season chat over coffee/tea and cake in Ebrington Village Hall (near Chipping Campden) anytime from 10.00am to 1.00pm. Refreshments will be prepared and served by the ladies of Ebrington WI who only serve food of the highest quality and at very reasonable prices.

Cyclists who live close, might like to try our informal “Reach for the Skies” route which goes up 4 'character building' hills and some thrilling descents in the 22 miles. The fastest time round the course so far is 1hour 11mins with old timers like me taking nearly 1 hour 40mins.  No entry fee - it's for fun.  However, Nicholas Cutts from Cutts of Campden has kindly donated two bottles of champagne to be awarded on the day.  One is for the fastest rider round the course and the other for the most "spirited" rider, regardless of their time.  You can start on your own or with other riders any time between 10.00 am and 11.00 am, riders and bikes are identified by a taped on ticket, timing is by marshal's watch and this year the route will be arrowed by Evesham Wheelers.

All proceeds of the day will go to St Eadburgha's Church, Ebrington.

All local cyclists are invited! Why not make Ebrington your different club coffee stop on that day? All roads are downhill from here!

Further details are available from http://www.ebrington.org.uk/

(The day is organised by Ebrington Velo, a subgroup of Evesham Wheelers).
