Recently the club has received a lot of interest from new riders so today we encouraged as many club members and new riders to join in one of our favourite rides the Jinker Track / Sandgate loop.
It was the coldest morning of the year with various Garmins telling us it was around 5 or 6 degrees when we headed off from Conti cafe at 5.30am. Apparently a few regulars couldn't haul themselves out from under the doona due to the cool start.
It was great to 20 riders turn up particularly those new to the club Anna, Nathan, JJ and Adam along with our old friend Sharky.
The highlight of the day was simply seeing the group welcome the new riders into the group and seeing how well everyone rode together enjoying the crisp morning which made for perfect riding conditions.
The first sprint of the day is along the Jinker track where the guys and Anna quickly got up to cruising speed of around 45kph before the real sprint began. The President has obviously hit a rich vein of form and took out the sprint from Jase.
The second sprint comes at the end of the Sandgate waterfront section and once again the President found the legs to take it out. He was heard to say "I don't think even Craig or Greg would have been able to beat me today!!" Big call Pres but hey winners are grinners.
The ride finished as it always does at Conti Cafe and it was great to see so many Cyc'd riders there having a laugh and chatting about what was a great way to start the day. The new riders added a lot to the group and we look forward to seeing lots more of them.
