Reading Time: 3 minutesAlthough he couldn’t be with us today, Al was kind enough to keep the start time of today’s club run at the usual Winter time of 10am, with the clocks going forward this was much appreciated.

The Great British Bike Bake Off (Short r...
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Sunday run to the Ice Cream Farm turned out to be a mass start of eager riders all desperate to get last minute miles in for Llanberis.

Hit the North 4
Reading Time: 2 minutesMatthew, Kev and I rode in Hit the North 4 yesterday – a BC supported mountain bike race in Philips Park, Whitefield. We had a lovely sunny day for it, and the route was fab – with some new stretches of manufactured trail, complete with berms, bumps and swoopy sections. The course also featured “The […]

It turned out to be extremely hard going in the semi-frozen slushy snow, but good fun nonetheless and a warm sunny day. Up through Davenham then along the tracks to Moulton before descending towards […]
