Tonight the cyclists head to Blackpool ready to push off on the 2009 Cycle venture; a three day, 160 mile, cycle ride from Blackpool back to Penkridge, with overnight stops at High Peak and Ashbourne in Derbyshire. This year we have 10 cyclists and a support driver (with a white van full of lycra).
So whilst they head north, the remainder of Penkridge Table do the sensible thing and head to the pub. We have a social night in the village, a few beers, a stroll around a few pubs and round it off with a curry. Staying in the village means less pressure on timing, so we end up with eleven of us, and a good (and entertaining night is had). Not least when we leave one of our honorary members asleep in Flames (the restaurant - setting fire to him would not be in the spirit of Table). He's rather surprised to wake and find the restaurant empty and the bill in front of him!
