Reading Time: < 1 minute Well another great day out thanks to Nick. Cannock Chase is really good fun and especially so when it is all frozen solid……………no mud………yipee!The trail is about 7 miles round and has an excellent mix of single track and gravel roads. There is not too much climbing and there are lots of fast flowing singletrack […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes This was Ross riding one of the May races, but he was flying again today to leave the rest of the Weaver Valley contingent in his wake. Matthew and I had a battle which lasted most of the 2 hour race and Derek did much better than last time(when he crashed) finishing on the same […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes Chris tackling the Tawr Trail at Coed y Brenin. Nine of us rode this trail on Saturday morning; much rockier and trickier than I remembered when it was the Red Bull. Unfortunately Jack C fell and gashed his knee which required five stitches, so he and Kevin C missed the MBR trail which we did […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Meet at the station cafe at 10am as usual for as much or as little as you like. All welcome. Top ride last time with a good spread of abilities. We all kept together so that everyone completed 2hrs or so. The trails should even be a little drier now after the fine weather.

Reading Time: < 1 minute This was the view to Blencathra from the top of Skiddaw on Friday evening. I rode (and pushed) most of the way up with a Keswick resident called Paul who often does this after work – makes a blast round Delamere look a bit tame! It was a great way to finish off a beautiful […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Those of you who didn’t come along to Winsford’s ASDA store on Saturday missed a chance to get your photo taken with Sir Chris like me, I bet you’re all jealous now. We did get a few serious enquiries about the club, so it was worthwhile. And Chris seems like a really nice, down to […]
