  Some of you may know that Jonathan from the Appleby area has had to put his cycling on hold for a while due to torn knee tendons. We all wish him a full recovery as quickly as possible. He has two cycling items he won’t be able to use and is offering them to others (for a suitable donation 😉 ) The first relates to the Ride to the Sun which Jonathan had planned to do overnight Saturday 21 st June before his body told him he couldn’t. Jonathan has booked a ticket for the bus to take riders and their bikes back from Edinburgh to Carlisle after the event which is now for sale. Secondly Jonathan has one of our new club long-sleeved jerseys for sale – medium-sized, T1. Please get in touch with Jonathan if you are interested in either item – 07908 414033 Alison
