Full (embellished!) details are to follow but here is the ‘at a glance’ club ride list for the culmination of the winter season.

Other than February, we will endeavour to stick with the ‘one week longer, next week shorter’ idea to stop too many domestic incidents!  In February, we’ll have to just stack in the miles and suffer the consequences!

All classic rides and as it stands currently the ‘100 in 8’are a 09:00 start unless otherwise indicated.

22^nd Jan 2012 – Baldock Round 1 – The first round of the ‘Battle for Baldock’ – Fairly directly to Café Plus and back – 80-90 miles - back 15:00ish 08:30 Start!  

29^th Jan 2012 – Spencer’s Farm Shop – Wickham St Paul – A brisk but shorter ride – 60-70 miles – back 14:00ish.

5^th Feb 2012 – Lazydayz Café - Wimpole – A new Cambridgeshire destination –Epic Status – 80-90 miles – Back 15:00ish 08:30 Start!

12^th Feb 2012 – A day of Choices! Many may choose the CTC SEG 75 ((‘Brentwood 75’) this year starting from ‘Market Café’ Woodlands Road, Wickford) OR there will also be a classic club run to the ‘Silver Ball’ Café – Reed, Royston - 75-85 miles back 14:30ish.

19^th Feb 2012 – Baldock Round 2 – Nearly done! This is the one! The full ‘Battle for Baldock’ ride to Café Plus including the famed and fearsome climb of ‘Deadmans’ Hill on the return! 85-95 miles Back 15:30ish 08:30 Start!

26^th Feb 2012 – No longer for softies! The ‘100 in 8’ moves back to its old winter date and whilst it will be more winter bikes and guards, than full carbon blingers, its sure to be as action packed as ever!

4^th March 2012  - With a lot of the regulars taking their stop at the ‘Petit Hotel Hostatgeria Sant Salvador’ in Majorca, a ride leader (or two) will  be needed for this Sunday back in the UK.

Watch this space!

11^th March 2012 – With a lot of the regulars suffering from their previous weeks exploits on the Chelmer Majorcan training camp, it will be a short Run to the ‘Mocha Café’ in Saffron Walden – 50-60 miles – Back 14:00ish.

18^th March 2012– It’s a soft month! With this being Mothering Sunday it’s another short ride, Back in Chelmsford by 13:00, destination TBA.

25^th March  2012 - Chelmer CC ‘Hardriders’ 25 mile open Time Trial – Whilst Club members are encouraged to either marshall or compete, your support in one way or another will be much appreciated! I’ll be in touch!

1^st April 2012 – There will be a club ride, but destination, style and severity all TBA!

 

I will produce my normal more detailed list as soon as is possible. But this is the list as it stands! So hold on tight, the Chelmer riders are focused and ready for action!
