Reading Time: 2 minutesIt must have happened before but I suspect not very often, that the run leader returns on his own. Well to be honest there were only five of us to start with: myself, Dylan, Julian, Chris Latter and John Chrystal. Dylan and Jules, both race fit, set what would be fair to say was a […]

Keswick Mountain Festival – Lakes Epic
Reading Time: 2 minuteshttp://www.youtube.com/v/ZxsjKYQFi24&hl=en_GB&feature=player_embedded&version=3It appears that May is the month for riding in the lakes, with Derek and Gareth completing the Fred Whitton earlier in the month, and Kevan, Elenor and me, (Matt) riding Keswick Mountain Festival events this last weekend. All the road riders did well, completing the rides in respectable times in wild weather, but this […]
Delamere 28 May
Reading Time: < 1 minuteNow that Andy “big air” B is back on two wheels I though we should have a ride around the Delamere trails. Conditions are perfect with the recent rain to dampen down the dust. Hope you ARE fully recovered now Andy and can join us at 10am Station cafe as usual. All abilities welcome.
Blaze Farm
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSorry no photo today. Lots of people at the club today but only eight (Chris and Matt, Jules, Dylan, Graham, new rider Tony, Kev and me) opted for the longer ride. Kev led us (with a few helpful contributions from Graham!) and we took a direct route to the cross roads on the A54 then […]
TLI 3
Reading Time: < 1 minuteGreat racing in the over 50s and 60s group – Nick got into a break with 6 or 7 riders (all from the over 50s group) and worked really hard, coming in a well deserved 3rd – Alan waited and watched his own age group, who formed a second break – Alan won the sprint, […]
Two Mills
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA great club run – instead of splitting into a longer and shorter group, we all stayed together to ride to Two Mills, and we had well over 20 riders at the cafe. The ride there was VERY WET! We were on the new Chester Greenway when the clouds opened and Garry very sensibly suggested […]
Borderlands MTB Challenge Sat 7 May
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSaturday 7 May saw us heading for Rhiwlas on the edge of the Ceriog Valley near Oswestry for the annual Borderlands Challenge. This was KevC trying to thumb a lift. See http://www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/committee.asp?ClubCtteeID=7178&ClubID=1699 and if you go to the gallery you’ll find pictures of us. This really is a very good event in aid of the […]
TLI races at Lower Withington – to ride
Reading Time: 2 minutesLots of WVCC members of both the “riding” (trying not to get dropped) and the “racing” (trying to win) species out today. I was riding (certainly not racing) in the over 50s and 60s group and it was HORRIBLE, it seemed much faster than last year – whether it was, or whether I’m just less […]
The Carnedds "ride" Sat 30 April
Reading Time: < 1 minuteRichard had a great idea about heading over some of Snowdonia’s 3000′ mountains and the two Kev’s and I were game enough (perhaps daft enough) to accompany him. We took the Roman Road which was ridable all the way up Drum before pushing up Foel Fras, the most northeasterly of the Welsh 3000 footers. From […]
Mary Townley Loop & Borderlands Challeng
Reading Time: < 1 minuteLes and I joined Pete Riley and 3 more fiends at short notice to ride the Mary Townley Loop on Good Friday. It was a perfect day for this challenging 47 mile ride, mainly on old pack horse tracks around the Lancashire /Yorkshire border. Last time I did it was with Kev & El and […]
Long Mynd weekend 9&10 April
Reading Time: 2 minutesWe couldn’t have wished for a better weekand, just a better turnout! Kev C and I had a brilliant time on Saturday riding over the Long Mynd 5 times in total. Each descent from the broad grassy ridge was better than the last, this was the third one down towards Bridges where we planned for […]
Delamere 2 April
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThanks to Alan for this plot of a ride we did last September – he finished off up the Yeld which we don’t usually tackle! But as you can see we are never far from the cafe, so there’s no excuse not to come and join us for as long as you want, then head […]
