2013 has been a fantastic year. Section membership has more than doubled. We welcome Giovanni Bazzoni (roadie) to the Clarion since last writing. Gio is our first Italian member. Dick Ayres new (another new member) rode the Quebrantahuesos in June, 200km in the Pyrenees, including col du Somport 1700m at 50km and Portalet 1800m at 150km, a total of 3800m of climbing. Having paced himself early on he wishes he’d gone full gas as he felt great at the end of just less than 8 hours riding (finishing 4158 out of 9000 starters), well done Dick who is looking for another big challenge in 2014.
Since the summer we have had a tour at Lago d’Iseo, climbing passo san fermo with long sections of 1:5 at it’s base. We also met up with members of Fenland at l’Eroica in Tuscany (see story elsewhere).
Dick took part in the Garmin Triathlon Barcelona taking on the Olympic distance in 2 hours 26.

Next year the Giro passes through Chieri where we are based, with the tt the day before from Barbaresco to Barolo, two of the best wines you’ll ever try. We’re a little excited about that. BuonNatale a tutti !
Speroni !
