Reading Time: < 1 minute Our annual club dinner, (time to ditch the lycra and dress like humans), is to be held on the 15th February 2014. This year, we’re holding the dinner at Comberbach Memorial Hall, and we are pleased to announce that we have an honoured guest in John Herety, former National Road Race Champion and Directeur Sportif of professional cycling […]
A bit of windy, rainy Freewheeling
Reading Time: 2 minutes At 09:55, I turned up at the legion, to see a lonely club run leader. I had already battled the first 12 miles of the day into the wind, and did expect a few more attendees for the comp. and to get the extra miles in. Most probably had the sense to go out on […]

Cycling, and hairdressing?
Reading Time: 2 minutes Alan lost count of the amount of riders pitching up at the Legion this morning. It is January, and there are many (me included) who have started a little late with getting the winter miles in. With Llanberis looming, and without the ominous grey clouds of the 1st 3 weeks of Jan, a goodly number […]
Fruit cake and port?
Reading Time: 2 minutes ‘Twas a beautiful day for a ride: blue skies, sunshine, not too cold. We rode to Holt via Peckforton and Tilston, with Kev setting the pace, helped in turns by John Conboy and Greg. We all kept together well, with a pace steady enough for conversation (maybe induced by the hangovers that 60% of the bunch seemed […]
A Sunday run with a difference…
Reading Time: 2 minutes Well today was a bit different: a few of us entered the Tatton Yule Yomp, a 10k cross country run around Tatton Park. Our team comprised Tim Rutherford, Nick and Ann, Kev, me and our daughter Nicola, Jules, Jim Duffy and Bruce. Other than Bruce, with whom we hadn’t shared the plan (sorry Bruce!) we all […]
“Flat, Alan said…” – Ice Cream Farm – sh
Reading Time: 3 minutes A dull and cool day met us at the legion this morning, with a healthy throng of eager riders pitching up as usual for the 2 runs. The long one headed off to Prees, whilst the short run was to head off to the Ice Cream Farm via an as yet unknown route. Alan announced […]
Eureka 200km
Reading Time: 3 minutes This is an annual event which starts in Cheadle heads out to “The Mills” then down to Bangor on Dee across to Astbury, near Congleton, and finally back to the start. I have ridden it a few times now and it always seems to rise to the challenge of making Audax events uncertain in their […]
Blaze Farm “safely and comfortably”
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’d been wondering what our esteemed runs leader had in mind when he said he’d come up with a way to make runs “safe and comfortable” – maybe new saddles, or accompaniment from the National Escort Group? Well the suggestion was much simpler than that – the leader stays at the front and sets the […]
Of cake and men (and a few ladies)…
Reading Time: 3 minutes A fantastic sunny autumn morning greeted the 9 of us opting for a short run. We meandered out through Comberbach and out towards Tatton, followed by pleasant lanes through Ashley, a short detour under the airport and then an extra loop back around to Ashley, before cutting across to skirt Hale and then to the […]
Help – I am stuck in the toilet!
Reading Time: 2 minutes A fine turn out today at the legion, despite the weather, both runs opted to go to the Mills with the Short run going direct and the long, via Bangor on Dee. A massive 20 left with the long run which included the lesser spotted Matt Hornby and Derek, who admitted it was his first Sunday club […]
Off Road Ride Delamere 2 Nov
Reading Time: < 1 minute Due to the “Hell Run” taking place we headed over to Primrose Wood where the mud wasn’t too thick. 5 of us out – Steve M fresh from his Scottish climbing trip, Paul H who had already ridden 16 miles off-road from Middlewich, Chris G who had a tangle with a fallen branch which resulted […]
