An’ice ride to Prees
There were loads of riders at Harford, all attracted by a sunny if cold day and their New Year’s resolutions to get some miles in. One ride went to Holt, I went with the longer ride to Prees.We were slightly disorganised to start with, but things did settle down eventually and we made a nice […]
Cannock Chase 15 Jan
By popular request and Matthew & Les’s recommendation, we returned to Chase trails where we really enjoyed Follow the Dog a year ago. Now they’ve extended this with more flowing red to form the Monkey Trail. Billed as the best trail in the country (it is England, so excluding Scotland and Wales I guess) we […]
Wed 29 Dec Peak District
The milder conditions gave six of us (Kev & El, Matthew, Andy B, Steve M and me) the opportunity to enjoy some of the excellent tracks and byways from Hayfield and over the Dark Peak on Wednesday. The predicted fog lingered in the valleys, so we soon climbed out of it, resulting in some spectacular […]
Llandegla Sat 18 December CANCELLED DUE ...
Due to me having flu, Matthew led the ride from Dealmere Station cafe. Thanks to him for this report and the videos – This first vid is of Mike, (Kev and Elenor’s daughter’s boyfriend) cracking what’s known as the ‘road gap’. It’s about 6 foot drop from take off to landing, and I reckon 20 […]
Delamere Sat 4 December
Meet at the Station cafe for 10am start. All abilities welcome for 2 hours or so round the tracks and trails then lunch back at the cafe. More after lunch for those who want it. Some fantastic singletrack in Delamere and we are always finding new bits. Riding here will improve your skill and ability […]
Dales Weekend 27& 28 Nov 2010
Despite, or perhaps because of the snow, it was a brilliant weekend based at Dent in the Yorshire Dales. The bunkhouse at Whernside Manor did us proud although some of us didn’t get their cars along the snowcovered lane to it. Eight of us stayed over Saturday night with Matthew and Derek (the gate boys, […]
Club run to Two Mills
The WVCC Allstars team at Two Mills. (What will it take to get Chris, Keith and Graham into club kit?!) (Craig you’re allowed – for a bit anyway – because you’re new: the others have no excuse!) Lots of people at the Royal Legion this morning – most decided to go with Alan on the […]
Whinlatter Duathlon Sun 14 Nov
This is a picture from last year’s event showing the spectacular Altura trail with Bassenthwaite Lake in the background. Although this year was a little overcast, the rain held off and Kev Campbell and I enjoyed this gruelling test of trail running and technical mountainbiking. The Altura trail makes up most of the 15km biking […]
Delamere Sat 6 November
11 off roaders and about the same number of roadies enjoyed a beautiful morning – checkout the videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/NickBXride
The great WVCC mudguard challenge…
Well Kev and I turned up at the Royal Legion at 8 a.m. (having intelligently put the clock forward not back) thinking it was 10 a.m. – and couldn’t work out why there was nobody else there. Maybe they’d started at 9.30 – so we set off like bats out of hell towards Prees to […]
Cylo Cross SUNDAY 24 October 2010
