The last 18 months have been unprecedented. Thankfully, things now seem to be returning to normal. Lockdowns and restrictions would seem to have re-invigorated (forced?!) many people to rediscover lost form.
For a bunch of OCs from the early-mid 1990s, that form may have been the memory of a darting “pick-up-and-go” from the back of the scrum, or even a hearty slog over Jubilee Oak.In reality it was the realisation (through the medium of the Strava Fitness App) that the same bunch of OCs had developed a fondness for over-priced lycra and similarly over-priced bicycles!
Mutual patting on the back progressed to an idea, and then that idea to reality. Currently 8 OCs, from the class of ’94 have decided to undertake a mammoth bike ride on 25 September 2021. We are raising money for the MS Society, in memory of our good friend and classmate, Tim Evans, who sadly passed away on 1 March 2016. We’ll be cycling 100 miles across the South Downs, finishing at Cranleigh School.
