I’ve just received the sad news that club member, Cliff Holden, has passed away. Cliff was a regular on the Wednesday Wrinklies rides up until recently, and had recently bought an electric bike so that he could keep on riding. He was making good progress following a series of operations and had even had a […]
Whilst we’re all doing our own things, solo riding, socially distancing as a small group, or not riding at all, it’s always good to look forward in these changing times. WVCC is still here, still waiting patiently, and ready to unleash activities when safe to do so. At this stage, we remain cautious, but shortly, […]
After a solid year of time trials for the club with more people racing than ever, it was fitting that Caroline and Dave Fearon didn’t go to the M&DTTA (Manchester and District Time Trialling Association) awards lunch alone this year. Instead seven of us comprising of The Fearons, Carol & Dan, Titch, Sam and I […]
If I hadn’t seen a Sustrans post about it, I’d never have known about it, but visiting the Newcastle area now and again, I had to check it out. It’s a tunnel you see, under the River Tyne, but not your usual, cars, buses and other motorised transport affair, this was built for pedestrians and […]
It’s been a great week thus far (and it’s only Wednesday) for the 2019 ToB, with the Green Jersey (for the overall leader of the race), swapping and changing. Facebook was busy with some vague plans for some who were interested to go and watch somewhere. I had plans just to cycle out to the […]
Mark and I were fortunate enough to win the prize donated by Paul Simpson for the club dinner, spectacularcycling – http://www.spectacularvilla.eu/. The prize included 3 nights bed and breakfast at Paul’s villa in Beniarrés, 2 days bike hire, transfers to/from Alicante. We decided to extend the stay by an extra night and secure two additional […]
Not normally the type of video shared on the club site, but I thought it appropriate to embed the YouTube video of the fitting tribute to WVCC Club Member Paul Sherwen, held at Manchester Cathedral on 6th February 2019.
The club has received an offer of 15% discount off Proviz products, email me at jim@weavervalleycc.org.uk if you want it. #buywetweathergearinthesummer http://www.provizsports.com/
Cheshire Rural Touring Arts have leant their support to another cycling play. [those who were at ‘Beryl’ last year at Tarvin were not disappointed]. This time we take on the mighty ‘Ventoux’ and it’s local being at the Lion Salt Works, Northwch.. Tickets are going to go fast so get in early if your thinking […]
Don’t forget now will you? At 02:00 on the 30th October (early Sunday morning when you are fast asleep), the clocks will go back an hour! This is probably fine if you use a smart phone or computer as they’ll probably set themselves. Best to check though! You really don’t want to turn up an […]
August Bank holiday seems such a long time ago now, but for those who rode the Wild Wales challange, the best kept secret in cycling, it will be remembered as a glorious, if challenging day. Yesterday we were awarded the coveted Harold Kewish Trophy for the club team with most finishers, WVCC had twenty five […]
First of all a big congratulations to Jimmy Williams for completing the Mersey RC & National 24 Hour championship this weekend. The result and everything else are just part of the (lengthy sorry), story and we’ll get on to that, but the achievement for every rider is just getting to the finish. Jim will create […]
Club runs are back in the calendar for our members and new riders who are looking to join.
