Ruthin Cycling Club hosted it’s first annual christmas dinner at Ruthin Rugby club on Friday 11th December. Circa 40 members and partners enjoyed a convivial evening of socialising and copious* food and drink.
The evening also saw the first club awards ceremony and a first outing from our own resident Dylan Thomas impersonator.

First Club Mountain Biking…
Thanks to Kenny for leading the club’s first adventure off-road on Tuesday. At night! Three hardy folk went out, with more next time (we had club a committee meeting on a Tuesday).
Support his efforts? If you haven’t ridden in the forest at night, try it – it’s superb fun and the pint in the warm pub after the ride is so well earned. Please text Kenny Atherton on 07584563666 to confirm. |
