Reading Time: 3 minutesWhere does one start to describe the Llanberis weekend this year? Madness? Possibly. A little bit wet? Maybe. Maelstrom? – a situation or state of confused movement or violent turmoil. That’ll do. Many dropped out, fearing what was to come. Weather reports suggested it would be wet and windy. Oh yes. It was. A few turned […]

Is Steve still with us? A short ride to ...
Reading Time: 3 minutesWas it late March or April? It certainly felt like spring this morning as I headed into the wind towards club. There was even the sound of a Skylark over the fields near Little Leigh. Not a sound you would usually hear until March. It was bright, warmer than usual, with a brisk, but not […]
Dagfields, Mills, Hailstones and sunshin...
Reading Time: 4 minutesThis was the scene at the club this morning, with ‘not as many as expected’ given that it’s just over a month to Llanberis. Either way, there were enough eager souls turning up to do a couple of runs, and the majority took off towards Ruthin, although most muttered about Loggerheads so that was to […]
Paul Sherwen Memorial
Reading Time: < 1 minuteNot normally the type of video shared on the club site, but I thought it appropriate to embed the YouTube video of the fitting tribute to WVCC Club Member Paul Sherwen, held at Manchester Cathedral on 6th February 2019.

We have a British Cycling coach that will train you and give you probably the best 2 hour workout you’ve ever had, for far less money than you would spend on a personal individual session not run through the club.

The not club run(!)
Reading Time: 3 minutesI’m not writing about the club run today, as I wasn’t actually on it(!) Setting out this morning after the weather forecasts for today, I was part delighted and partly in some trepidation of the day. The delight came at heading to Hartford. It was like riding an e-bike on full chat, with a monster […]
Track night – 10/01/2019
Reading Time: 2 minutesFirst track night of 2019. A pre-season leg stretcher saw a good numbner attending (that’s short for – I didn’t count how many). Training us this evening was our usual excellent coach Paul West, who put us all, now matter at what level of fitness, through the mill to deliver some excellent and exhausting training. […]

Cycling is tiring. Short run, 06/01/2019
Reading Time: 3 minutesIt’s been a while since I’ve been on a full Sunday run, so I set out with some trepidation. I needed to get some miles in (but had at least done some warming up over the past weeks using Zwift to make sure that I didn’t make too much of an idiot of myself!). A […]
