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 minutesWell 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 minutesA 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 minutesThis 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 minutesI’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 minutesA 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 minutesA 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 […]

Don’t forget to set your clocks this wee
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIt’s getting cooler, the shorts are now accompanied by leggings, and you desperately spend an hour looking for that other Sealskinz glove before the club run on Sunday (well I do)! Mudguards are also the order of the day – please don’t forget, or you may be politely asked to ride at the back…!! All of […]
Cyclo Cross Sat 19 Oct Greenbank
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAnother successful event due to the fantastic help and support of so many WVCC members. The change from Sunday to Saturday seemed to go down well – club members can still enjoy their Sunday Run (although the weather might not be as good – thank goodness we got packed up before the thunderstorm!).
