Many of the riders had accessorised their bikes and donned fancy dress in a bid to be the best dressed Christmas rider of the year. A number of Santas, Pingu, the Grinch and even a bike customised as Rudolph left the Market Place for the round trip including a breakfast stop at The Raddle Inn, Hollington. The expected rainfall did not dampen spirits. Two riders stood out as would be winners: Santa with his collection of presents attached and the Grinch riding Rudolph. As just reward for his construction work, the \u00a320 voucher went to Dave Magnier as the Grinch. Happily, Everyone made it home, safely, in spite of the inclement weather.<\/p>\n<p>Written by &#8220;The Grinch&#8221; Dave Magnier<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp1.jpe\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2012\" src=\"http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp1.jpe\" alt=\"mp1\" width=\"1080\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp1.jpe 1080w, http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp1-300x147.jpe 300w, http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp1-1024x501.jpe 1024w, http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp1-500x244.jpe 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp2.jpe\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp2.jpe\" alt=\"mp2\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1016\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp2.jpe 1080w, http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp2-300x282.jpe 300w, http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp2-1024x963.jpe 1024w, http:\/\/www.leekcyclistsclub.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/mp2-319x300.jpe 319w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rob Hanson &amp; Dave Magnier<\/p>\n<p>We also got a special mention in this weeks Global Cycling Network&#8217;s &#8220;The GCN Show&#8221;, we are mentioned starting from the 18th minute, click on the video below to take a look.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Let&#039;s Talk Froome: Just How Bad Is It? | GCN Show Ep. 258\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l0PtjieEZc8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Icing conditions and the threat of rain did not prevent 20 hardy cyclists setting out on their annual \u2018pudding\u2019 run on Sunday, 17th December.
