Rob is organising a curry night on either Friday 18th or the 25th Oct?

He is going to book the Curry Cottage, Stoney Middleton.

Ride out- eat and drink- slow ride home. Let Rob know via facebook or email info@rutland.cc if you fancy it!

We have a new Club ride. The once monthly “Easy like a Sunday morning” spin around the peaks (or elsewhere) is an opportunity for a chat and a catch up with other club members before well earned cafe stop. No one will be left behind and everyone is welcome. Why not come along and bring someone new to the Club with you!

The next ride will be Sunday 29th September, 10am at the Teacake meet. This allows riders to watch the Monsal Hill Climb on October 6th and save the weekend of the 12th October to support Rutland CC’s Mam Nick hill climb.

See you there!

Well done to Jamie Burgan for his Fabulous entry in the Nocturnal teacake annual Drinking Chalice Competition. He called in the pet shop on his way home from work and bought a mouses drinking bottle.

That’s the kind of effort that get’s you the win. The judging was decided by a clapometer where the sound level of clapping between first second and third was staggeringly varying and there was no doubt at all that Jamie was the clear winner. Next year there will be no Plastic cups for the lame people that don’t bother, so roll on next year, cheers Bren

The Summer Solstice is just around the corner which means it’s the time of year when we head out into our beloved Peak District by night to sample the sights, smells and long shadows cast by the almost midnight sun. There was talk of calling in at The Barrel for a pint but we’ll see how we’re going for time after the drinking chalice challenge around the Eyam stocks. The Norfolk Arms has been booked as usual and I’m going to do my best to get the triangle sandwiches back on silver platters but can’t promise.

MEET AT THE TEACAKE MEET, Bents Road AT 7PM

Remember to bring your lights and plenty of beer vouchers.

RSVP via e-mail to brendon@rutland.cc so I can give the pub an idea of how many to expect.
