Reading Time: < 1 minute You’ll already have noticed that it’s getter darker in the morning, but please don’t forget to change your clocks this weekend! Also, and equally important – especially for those of you who have joined the club since March – we now meet at 10:00 for the winter months. Other things not to forget: Mudguards – […]

Jim has a bad day…
Reading Time: 3 minutes A rare shout for the Wednesday Wrinklies! I’m working this weekend so had a day off work, and what a treat it was to join our club elder statesmen on their Wednesday ride. I turned up at Hatchmere at 9.45 – and not a soul was there. Slowly they arrived, in dribs and drabs, until […]
Dagfields in Autumn sunshine
Reading Time: 2 minutes An excellent long run today, to Dagfields in beautiful Autumn sunshine. It was one of those “what should I wear?” sort of mornings as we set off in a thick fog with temperatures of c 5 degrees, but sunshine was promised. It didn’t take long for us to ride out of the mists into the […]
ToB Blog
Reading Time: 5 minutes Difficult one to categorize this one, so it’s filed under Road Run, ‘cos technically, we did ride on the road for some of it, but it’s also filed under Special Event, because it was a brilliant day out. Acton Lane (or ‘The Cliff’ as it seems to have become known) wasn’t massively busy when I […]
Amelia’s Journey – Club Run 31/08/2014
Reading Time: 2 minutes Today saw members of Winnington Park RC and Weaver Valley Cycling Club take part in a sponsored cycle ride in aid of Amelia Hill, the little girl with a heart defect. The run was called Amelia’s Journey and over 45 riders took part in the 50m round trip to The Eureka Cafe on the Wirral and […]
Short(?) Cub Run – 24/08/2014
Reading Time: 3 minutes Well for a short club run, it ended up quite long. Quite right too, given that we’d got the gap in the recent wind and rain. So, a fantastic sunny start greeted us as we met as per usual. What we hadn’t counted on was the sight that was to greet us as Al turned […]
Alan’s defection, and Carol cleans up fo
Reading Time: 5 minutes A sunny day with a breeze met us at the legion today. A refreshing change for most from the heat of this week. The long run were off to the unexplored unknowns of North Wales (well, near Wrexham anyway). We were on a different journey, and one which would see some reversals of routes. Alan […]
To Tittesworth and back
Reading Time: 2 minutes The prospect of a “lumpy” ride meant a fairly small group of us setting off from the Legion, on a beautiful route out to Tittesworth Reservoir via Congleton. Unfortunately for me the group consisted entirely of good climbers, so I was last up every hill, but I tried to focus on staying positive and everyone was […]
Ferry Across the Mersey
Reading Time: 4 minutes It couldn’t have been a nicer day to take a day off work. a healthy crowd were at the swing bridge before 9. A minute after, and we were on our way. 27 of us pedalled through Sutton Weaver and Beechwood, and we were soon pedalling over the Mersey on the Runcorn/Widnes bridge. From here […]
A classy caff…
Reading Time: 2 minutes A nice straightforward ride today for those of us opting for the longer ride. Kev and Jules led us out to Prees via the undulating muddy roads around Whitchurch and we all arrived at the cafe without incident (other than a few large puddle crossings). The cafe was as usual full of bikers of the […]
Audlem, There and Back Again
Reading Time: 3 minutes A sunny and warm morning greeted a good number of riders out this morning. The long run left for Dagfields, and similarly, we left for Audlem via one of Al’s magical mystery cycle tours. A great day out it was too. We headed out through the lanes towards Nantwich and then Wrenbury at a non-too shabby […]
To do the Horseshoe Pass or not to do th...
Reading Time: 3 minutes A great ride today, despite the unpromising weather forecast. We started off ten minutes late: Kev got to Hartford and then realised that he’d set off from home leaving the front door wide open, so had to ride back and sort it, leaving us all twiddlig our thumbs. Doh! And he can’t even blame the […]
