Eight of us made it out for a ride from Hartford rather than the planned Macc Forest due to the snow. It turned out to be extremely hard going in the semi-frozen slushy snow, but good fun nonetheless and a warm sunny day. Up through Davenham then along the tracks to Moulton before descending towards […]
The day before the Dave Astles memorial ride in much worse weather, 5 of us travelled down to Church Stretton for a superb day riding the tracks and trails of the Long Mynd. Alan K, Tim, Matthew, Steve M and I ignored the weather man and had a brilliant time. Although it was very wet, […]
Third time I’ve done this event and it’s a classic. 6.5k run, 18k bike and 5.5k run – all hilly and rough terrain. Tim was fantastic with 15 place from 160 finishers in a time of 2hr15min. I was way down in 2hr 43min, but only 10mins slower than last year and it was a lovely […]
A glorious calm, sunny day made the event all the more enjoyable. The addition of a butty and burger van along with proper car parking helped with the smooth running of the event. 105 riders contested the main race around an extended, more challenging course at the usual venue of Greenbank, Northwich. Paul Bethell (Team Elite) led […]
Saturday started wet and it stayed that way. Richard led us on one of his fantastic “possibly rideable” routes from Trefriw via the steepest road I’ve riden up in years to Llyn Cowlyd where we followed the bridleway along the shore. Kev U tried his best to prove it rideable, but even he had to […]
Nine riders turned out for fun in the mud including two new faces, Alec and Lee, both from Kingsley. Giles B, Steve M and Matt making up the regulars with welcome re-appearances by Phil S, Giles from Kingsley (with his gears now working) and Jim D (with a new rear mech) taking this tricky bridge in his stride. […]
Good turnout of 10 for the last ride on 21 July and some new faces to the fat tyre gang – Titch, Andy A and Phil. We were also joined for his first club ride by Giles from Kingsley who did fantasticly well to go the distance despite jumping gears and not being used to riding with […]
We nearly called it off due to the flooding in Lancashire / Yorkshire with Hebden Bridge, our intended lunch stop on the breakfast tv news due to the main street being submerged. But six intrepid off roaders set off from Waterfoot near Rawtenstall to tackle the 50 mile loop. This was early on, before we had hit too much […]
Second course to be held 25 June at Hartford Social Club 7-10pm. Anyone wishing to attend please get in touch with Nick Butterworth. nick@weavervalleycc.org.uk
This was the team – KevU, KevC, me, Tim and Jules ready for the start of this demanding 22mile ride on tracks around the Ceriog Valley in the Welsh Borderlands. Tim and KevU shot off and Tim would have been quickest overall if he hadn’t had a puncture and another mechanical. It is quite a […]
This was Andy B having fun in the mud!Kev C manage to stay a bit cleaner, in fact it was suprisingly firm on most of the trails. 10 out including Steve M, good to see him fit again again and newby Geoff who did great on his first ride. He also has a road bike so […]
