SCC Virtual Quiz

A virtual club night!
And the winner is....
Forget your Who wants to be a millionaire and your weakest link - the greatest test of wits ever happened Thursday week ago - the Southgate Cycling Club Virtual Quiz (working title).
A superb range of questions from the sublime to the ridiculous had been sent in from the SCC committee and a two hours of zoom power hours lay ahead. The quiz started with an outlay of the rules or a “power play” from our beer drinking quiz master - read them and understand them. A use of the mute button, everyone was informed, would be used with all the aggression of Jackie Weaver.
Rounds such as the grand tours, classics and olympics went down very well but paled into insignificance when set against the behemoth which was John Basell’s Southgate Cycling Club History round. Realising that these were challenging, additional points were thrown around like confetti and Steve Bagland excelled himself by getting three questions right. It was only after the round was over that Mr Basell sheepishly mentioned that he in error believed all members to be in possession of a handbook - prompting the club committee into red faced glances across each other.
As the rounds came and went and the drinks flowed there was a realisation that our third iteration of the zoom meeting was coming to an end. A hasty shout out of points led to an unexpected but very popular winner - Steve “lost in a time trial” Bagland with a commendable 69 points.
A big thank you to all involved and we look forward to doing another social soon.
Come along and find your next cycling bargain!
Training Runs: Saturday and Sunday at 9am from Cafe Nero in Enfield Town - usually go for a 40-60 mile circular ride at a fast-ish training pace, without stops. Sunday Touring Runs : Meet Cafe Nero, Enfield Town at 08:45 for 09:00 start unless an alternative venue/time is shown. Intermediate ride will be 12 to 14mph to morning stop, approx 20 to 30 miles. The relaxed ride is shorter and does what it says on the tin!
