Join Tony and Ian on their 65th birthday ride

On Sunday October 10th the medium paced run from Rolleston will move and start from the Rosliston forestry centre at 9.30 – Ian jarvis and I are celebrating our 65th birthdays and are having a 66 mile run called ‘route 66’ – the route will be the Plan B reliability run (see map below) which will require 2 laps for the 66 miles. Any one is welcome to join us – the day will be very informal with Ian and I riding at a steady pace aiming for the 66 miles in about 5 hours with a cafe stop half way. All are welcome and at any pace of thier own choosing.
Tony
