From left: Dan, John Keen, Adrian, Elaine, Carol, Woody, Andrew and James Risk, me and Kev. Also riding but not in […]

Two Mills
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA swift and uneventful ride to Two Mills today with a good size group. The outward trip started in the rain but this eased after an hour or so. We rode through Tarporley, Tattenhall, Churton then up through Chester, onto the old train track to Saughall – the return trip was direct through the Forest. […]
Grizedale Duathlon 13 March
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAnother well run event in the beautiful Lake District on a pleasant spring day. Kev Campbell and I completed the course along with my friends from Newcastle, Tim and Sharon who competed as a relay team. No prizes this time, just the satisfaction of covering 37km with 1500m of ascent and descent on foot and […]
Delamere Sat 5 March
Reading Time: < 1 minuteCome and join us for a couple of hours around the forest. Plenty of interesting singletrack and hopefully not too muddy if the dry spell continues. All abilities welcome, we regroup frequently and usually get back to the cafe for lunchtime. Those who want to, do a bit more in the afternoon. Give me a […]
Llanberis 2011
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother excellent weekend. Well done and thank you to Graham and Ann for organising and providing transport and en route support – to Steve for driving and for his enthusiastic encouragement – and to Dave Hinde for providing a big black van and much-appreciated mechanical assistance. Kev and I had a great ride out and […]
Llandegla Sat 19 Feb
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter enjoying a circuit of the black trail, on our final run back into the centre Chas had a very bad fall. He was taken to Wrexham Hospital where he’s being treated for back injuries. The three of us who were also out on the ride, Andy B, Kev C and I wish him all […]
Hit the North 12 Feb 2011
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother fantasticly well organised event by the HtN team near Whitefield north Manchester went off in sunshine with 5 WVCC riders – if you look carefully you can see us all lined up for the start above. Thanks to John Climber for all the pics (I’ll be donating to mountain rescue as requested – probably […]
Summertrees and lots of climbing…
Reading Time: 2 minutesAbove – the best bit – lunch at the cafe! WVCC takes over Summertrees cafe… Well ever since I started riding with WVCC I’ve been persuaded that if I want to be a good bike rider I’ve got to learn to love hills – so with some trepidation I agreed to go on the longer […]
Well we didn’t quite make it to Bangor o
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother good turn out today and a choice of Audlem for the shorter ride or Bangor on Dee for the longer. I (Jed) took sixteen riders on the longer run following a route I’d ‘muddled out’ using Google maps and the little orange man who can actually help you view the roads (as they were […]
Delamere 5 Feb
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor Chas’s first club off road ride we organised rain, wind, mud and extra slippery tree roots in abundance. Matthew, Kev & El, Andy B, Richard C and I did all we could to break him and his enthusiasm. Despite all of this, and his slighly retro bike (with not particularly knobbly tyres), he lasted […]
Loggerheads direct
Reading Time: 2 minutesOnce again a huge turnout at the club – must have been 40+ riders. I set off with the long group to Loggerheads – we didn’t get very far till Gareth punctured in Delamere Forest and the shorter group went past us, never to be seen again. Graham led and up through Kinnerton advised us […]
Hip wiggling and pelvis rotating = freew...
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe rode out of Hartford in a huge group: I didn’t count but there were well over 30 riders. We looked pretty impressive, with the majority of riders in club kit, although some drivers were probably rather less impressed with us than we were with ourselves! Some of us get tetchy (understatement) with car drivers, […]
