REMINDER: Thursday 27 April: Monthly Meeting – The niche world of Ultra Endurance Racing on a Brompton
Something a bit different this month:
Please join us at 8pm on Thursday 27th April, when James Houston will give us a talk on his experience of Ultra Endurance Racing on a Brompton folding bicycle.
James has now ridden five races and has mastered the art of sleeping at bus stops, dining at petrol stations, and cycling over mountaintops at night during thunderstorms.
James will talk about how he got into long-distance cycling, explain how Ultra Endurance Racing works, and will give us his personal insights into how he prepares his bike, trains for events, and chooses which kit to bring.
He’ll then take us through his experience of competing in last year’s Transcontinental Race – a 4,000+ km unsupported race from Belgium to Bulgaria.
————————————————————————————————————–
The pattern of meetings is the last Thursday of the month. If you have any suggestions for topics for these meetings please get in touch.
Meet: 8pm, Trinity Church Centre, Nether Street, North Finchley N12.
All welcome.
