A year of records
It's the end of another year and 2016 has eclipsed the previous years for many reasons.
I'll not ramble on about the details of each ride as most can be read elsewhere on here but 2016 saw new levels of participation, new rides, old favourites and plenty of laughs along the way. We did really well with the weather and conditions, with Cannock being the only wet ride. Feel free to vote for you personal favourite above.
Below are some facts and figures from this year:
Number of rides: 18
Number of different riders: 25
Average Riders Per Ride: 7
Maximum Riders Per Ride: 12
Total Distance (all 18 Rides): 310 miles
Total Elevation (all 18 Rides): 38000 feet
Total Distance (everyone on every ride): 2112 miles
Total Elevation (everyone on every ride): 256500 feet
Toughest Ride (highest climbing per mile): Bakewell 181 feet/mile
We gained several new recruits this year, all of which slotted straight in to our group, so a big thank you to Matt, Deley, Basil, Duncan, Darren, Luke, Dave, Carro, Paddy, Scott, Howard, Ricky, Steve, Ian, Martin, Paul, Rick, Matt S, Johnny, Mick, Dylan, Andy, Joe & Rick's mate (forgot his name) for making the effort and getting into the spirit of things
Hopefully 2017 will be even better, see you there!
