Pubcycle 2023, our tenth excursion, is scheduled for 26th November.  We will be raising funds for Agathian’s Shelter, and if you can’t join, just send the money.

 

My first task is to confirm the participating pubs; then the posters, check the route in detail, confirm the riders, start collecting sponsorship…

 

Thanks in advance for your support - the kids appreciate it!

Is there one in TH, or just MY?

Nice......One thread on the forum stating how dangerous it is to ride a bicycle or scooter and now another thread promoting cycling.

What will be consumed at the pubs? Just soda water? If alcohol (as is customary at pubs) then recipe for disaster.

Generally, the landlords provide a small cider at each of the pubs, while the riders pay a comparable amount to Agathians’.  A couple of years ago, we were delayed by slightly slow drinking, and I remarked “I’m anxious to get to the last pub, where I can have a proper drink”.  
This year, we’re planning on finishing in Bangsar, so I’ll need to take it easy at the end, because there’s at least one stop on the way home from there.

I went out on a route check this morning, and it was shorter and much harder than I expected.  I certainly struggled through the heat of the mid day sun.  You might want to apply a coat of Hammerite  if you suffer from male pattern baldness.

I’m having trouble drumming up more than tepid enthusiasm for the ride this year.  Maybe I should consult a doctor…

 

Or, maybe you should ride in the nude?

 

Naked riders always get much enthusiasm from the spectators.

Pubcycle XI on 18 August this year will not be a cricket or football competition, unless there is an unexpected turn of events between now and then.

The current plan is that riders and spectators contribute sponsorship to Agathian’s Shelter, and coincidentally a few of us cycle round several pubs.
