Reading Time: < 1 minute What a beautiful night for hurting yourself on a club TT! None of the hailstone and changeable weather of last week, just sunshine, and a breeze to help you along the A50, (but against you on the way home). 29 riders came out to test their mettle and some very good times were recorded. The […]

Club 10s – Gents 2 up 27/04/2016
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hay-ho, the wind and the rain, and the hail and another three season day… The first club TT of the season is always a bit of fun. Loads of early season anticipation, and an ideal time to ride a two-up time trial and ease yourself into the race of truth! We were joined by Robbi Unwin this […]
Cafe? I see no Cafe!
Reading Time: 3 minutes A cool and bright sunny morning had us battling through the crowds at the rugby club to get to the club for this morning’s runs. The crowds were for a host of rugby matches held today. The long run was due to go to Loggerheads, but no-one seemed enthusiastic about taking it, so we split the […]
Une belle journée et un tour de cycle be
Reading Time: < 1 minute A beautiful and a lovely cycle ride… (excuse my French). Chilly, bright, a good day for a beginner’s ride, and a few beginners turned out, as well as a returning beginner and a young lady called Shelagh, who made a welcome return to the Sunday run to brighten the day further. We headed out through […]

M&DTTA – Call for volunteers
Reading Time: 3 minutes Please take some time to read the latest M&DTTA newsletter below, and see if you can assist in keeping the sport alive locally. All such cycling events are manned by volunteers, and there are fewer and fewer new volunteers stepping up to take part and contribute in keeping our great discipline of time-trialling alive. Manchester […]
Sunny days? Fresh air? Easy cycling? Wha...
Reading Time: 3 minutes Well I’ll tell you. There was only the slightest ‘cool’ to the air this morning, and as we gathered at the club amongst the usual throng of kids and adults about to play rugby, the sun popped out to say ‘hi’, as it did last week as well. Most odd. Two groups headed out in […]
Delamere – in the gloop
Reading Time: 3 minutes It was a very nice day. Cool, but in the sun, pleasantly warm. Off with the gilet after only a couple of miles and onto join the lads off road for a change, in my attempt to start to get some fitness back. Jim looked surprised as he overtook me on the way up Kingsley […]
How very civilised. Short run 28/02/2016
Reading Time: 4 minutes Let us for a moment ponder the climatic differences of last week to this: Yeah. Slightly different. This week the long run group headed off to Prees with a healthy number of riders, all keen to keep the Llanberis legs exercised. The short run was however to offer a more civilised and amenable approach. We […]
Llanberis. Brutal. Need I say more..?
Reading Time: 10 minutes Well I suppose I must, so here is a bit of a photo blog. There was a sense of foreboding on social media in the days before, given the weather forecast as the weekend approached. I popped up to Hatchmere for a quick roll call of the early leavers there, and was greeted by a bunch […]
Llanberis 2016 – update
Reading Time: 2 minutes As many will know, we had a bit of last minute drama after we found out that the cafe at Ruthin Craft Centre had closed, which is where we were due to stop for the feeding frenzy before heading onwards to Denbigh! Not to worry though, as Jim, Alan and Syd sought out the Seven […]
