On Sunday 23rd June, after several weeks of intensive training and a strict diet regime, the 15 strong ‘Easywheelers Team’ comprising of twelve U3A cyclists and three family members successfully completed the Great Notts Cycle 50 miles route.
Well done to all with a special mention to Sue Jackson, Mary Martin and David Martin for completing this for the first time.
Five other members took on the bigger challenge of the 75 mile route which is obviously longer but also has a few stiff uphill sections to make it interesting. It was an ambition of two 50 mile veterans Jim Spray and Roy Beadle to take on the 75 challenge just before they hit 75 years of age and before retiring to spend more time enjoying their free TV licence (dream on..)
Trevor Onions and Gary Whelan set a cracking pace to complete the 75 in a very good time.
Congratulations to all who took part in this event and already we are looking forward to next year.
