Rules

Rules

You need to think about what you want to take, as you will have to ride with it, Tour shirts will be worn from setting off to reaching destination on the island of Arron.

Kilts must be worn (no tartan shorts) you can wear your biking shorts underneath for comfort.

You can use your imagination if you choose (Mc Twatty has shown some good inventiveness although I personally have not seen his mums dress.

You will need to also carry with you some basic bike parts which will be agreed at the next meeting

 

Think about a party trick as we are going to have Mc X Factor (Arrons got talent) 

some shirt sizes where guessed at, take a look at what has been chosen on your behalf, if you would like to change it contact Mc BigMack

Mr Bowling Ball Evans

Dancing Arborvitae spotted in car park at the Vic Kirby Malham

The Arborvitae 'Mr. Bowling Ball', Thuja occidentalis 'Bobazam', is a unique, compact, perfectly global arborvitae that has dense, fine-textured, soft, green foliage resembling a fine-textured juniper or false cypress. 'Mr. Bowling Ball' requires little or no shearing; needs no pruning to remain neat and tidy. Because this arborvitae will form a perfect ball, it makes a wonderful accent plant and provides color year round. Enjoy this unique 'Bowling Ball' when planted near a pub, in mass plantings or as a border! The Arborvitae requires regular alcohol to keep it looking fresh 

Tour Shirts

Gentlemen
Time is ticking away and I am about to start work on the shirts, I am currently getting our sponsors sorted so should cover quite a lot of the costs for the shirts

Rhino Base Layer Long sleeve turtleneck. The turtleneck can be personalised with a logo or text. Rhino Logo to the rear of the turtleneck. Keeps you warm and dry in cold conditions. Fabric is lightweight, soft, easycare and dries quickly. Fits like a second skin. Regulates temperature of the body. Raglan sleeve design allows increased mobility and a full range of motion. Suitable for all sports (including football, rugby, hockey, golf, cricket, winter sports, cycling and equestrian), and work.

Size - Chest to fit
S/M - 38/40", L/XL - 46/48", XXL - 50/52"





Your thoughts would be appreciated, The Focker is going to get us some Fox Polo shirts which will be the main tour shirt, and it will be nice to add the new bike shop logo to the shirts. however I thought the above shirt for riding its probably going to be around £20 inclusive of logos, still waiting on how much the polos are from Focker


Hopefully sponsorship should cover the majority of the costs

Look no Hands


Dont forget Gents that Kilts will be required for the Friday when we sail over to Aron

Lord Duggle

Old Fella

Gentlemen, I know this is not anything to do with Cycling, however you may want to take advantage of a free hair cut or a discounted colouring either for yourself (excluding Kev) or your loved ones, Megan starts working on the floor cutting hair in June, so she needs models to work on to fine tune the art, anyway if you would like to take advantage of this you would be doing yourself and Megan a favour.

see you shortly for Biking
