A large group was mustered at the Legion this morning, with everyone wanting to make the most of the beautiful weather. Alan sorted us into three groups, one of which included some new members who’d been persuaded to try WVCC out at the Pedal Power festival last weekend – welcome to them. I joined […]

Ron Sant Memorial Ride – Audax
Today saw a clear and warm day for the annual Ron Sant Audax. The HQ had many an eager Audaxer and club-runner ready for the day ahead – especially as there was a hot brew and toast and jam there for all starters. 🙂 Brevet cards in hand for the Audaxers, we all set off […]
Two Mills – short run – Easter Sunday
Around 20+ riders turned out today. The long run headed off to Prees, but ended up at Audlem… The remaining 10 of us headed off to the Mills for a straight short run. We set a healthy pace, and two took a different (and probably more sensible route), leaving 8, then one of our number […]
Early starts, hairy legs, pacey Greenway...
There were a reasonable number at the Legion this morning, even at the early hour of 09:30. The log run was off to Tittesworth via Gun Hill (with a grand total of three setting off including the leader), and the short off to the Mills (as no-one else shouted up an idea!). A third breakaway […]
Don’t forget to set your clocks forward
Spring!!! Allegedly… This means that this weekend the clocks will go forward, and we get to enjoy more daylight hours in the saddle, as we will now meet for a start of 09:30. If you forget both to set your clock and meeting time, you will of course end up pitching up at 11:00 to en empty […]
A pilgrimage to Audlem
The weather man suggested that today would have some sun with occasional showers. The Lord above had other ideas, and as I left for the Legion, it rained immediately. After a good soaking, I arrived, and met with the other apostles for today’s righteous ride. In a change to the sermon, earlier in the week, […]
To Holt and back
Well here we all are – gathered outside Holt Garden Centre about to start our return ride. The large group who met at the Legion at 10 am soon split into three smaller groups – this photo (below) is of the direct/steady group which included (here goes) Kev, Alan S, Graham G, Terry, Dave D, Jim, Phil, […]
Dry and wet
A fantastic bright and sunny day greeted us the day after the club dinner (see post above), and those who took it easy at the dinner, and quite a few more – all turned up to take advantage of the weather, and head of to the Mills. As per usual, the group split into a […]
No-one would go out in that would they?
…oh yes they would. I’d booked today off work for ages, hoping for a ride with the Wednesday Wrinklies. So when I saw the weather forecast I was disappointed, convinced no-one would be out, and decided to ride to Hatchmere anyway to see. I always arrive early – it never takes as long to get there […]
Short and breezy to Summertrees, with th...
A few hills were in order today, to get the last bit of training in before some proper hills on the Llanberis training weekend, so a devious route was required, as it isn’t far from Hartford to the café. Al didn’t disappoint, and we turned right and right again out of the car park, and […]
A bit of windy, rainy Freewheeling
At 09:55, I turned up at the legion, to see a lonely club run leader. I had already battled the first 12 miles of the day into the wind, and did expect a few more attendees for the comp. and to get the extra miles in. Most probably had the sense to go out on […]
Cycling, and hairdressing?
Alan lost count of the amount of riders pitching up at the Legion this morning. It is January, and there are many (me included) who have started a little late with getting the winter miles in. With Llanberis looming, and without the ominous grey clouds of the 1st 3 weeks of Jan, a goodly number […]
