2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted July 20, 2019 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Now now Linda men also sew. A few years ago a few of us started a midweek bunch via Stewarton. It involved hills so gave the lighter riders the chance to show off their cycling prowess. As for the rest of us it was and is a lung buster. Mark Oneill christened the route “The Sewing bee “ so I will let him tell us why but I think it was an antidote to my suggestions for naming the route which were not so sedate Lc1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark O Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Linda, The Sewing Bee was the under the radar name given to a Tuesday evening ride for non TTers. It was generally considered bad form to post up a ride which clashed with a club confined event, so the ride was publicised as a sewing bee. Very underhand and sneaky, but a lawyer was involved - ‘nuff said! The name kind of stuck, with the route used now going by the same name. Charlie’s suggestion was along the lines of “More ........ hills” but included bad words that I’d never heard before and caused me to blush. In those days I was a good bit fitter on a bike and a smidge lighter than I am currently. Perhaps one evening I’ll get to give M’Lud a doing again. Won’t be this year however.
