It’s getting cooler, the shorts are now accompanied by leggings, and you desperately spend an hour looking for that other Sealskinz glove before the club run on Sunday (well I do)! This means that the clocks are about to go back – this Sunday morning in fact. This also means that the club runs revert […]

Tim – the master of the bodge repair str
The alarm had gone off and I was just starting to come to, when El rolled over and said ‘Kev do you know what I’d really like?’ Now the males amongst you will appreciate how a question like that can prompt over six hundred thoughts in under a second, all revolving around one subject. However, […]
Club Runs are never boring with Chris B
I don’t know how these things happen, I guess it’s destiny (or stupidity) but I found myself leading a club run to Loggerheads with no planning and no Garmin (forgot to charge it). Now I know roughly where Loggerheads is and I’ve been there lots of times and my instinct was to go sort of […]
Short run to Two Mills
by Paul Longley Many eager faces turned up at Hartford legion on what looked to be set for a glum and possibly rainy day. Jules had organised a longer ride to the Mills and had only 5 takers for this run. As usual the short run set off first at a steady but not slow […]
Tour of Britain Run to Gun Hill
The organisers had once again added the Stoke on Trent stage to the Tour of Britain calendar and it would have been rude to have not ventured along. Last year only 5 of the Weaver Valley ventured to top of Gun Hill but with Wiggins & Cav fever still in the air a big group […]
Long Ride to Longnor (Changed to Blaze F...
by Jim Duffy A miserable over cast wet morning greeted all at the Legion. Approx. 15 riders headed off on the short ride, with a group of 11 opting for the much hyped, tough ride to Longnor led by Kris, with Kev C, Kev U, Jim D, Tony, Carol, Andy A, Titch, Pete, Max & […]
Malpas that turned into Holt (Short Run)...
Sunshine and barmy temperatures greeted everyone at the Legion this morning. A strong turnout with a good 30 strong riders looking to take on rides to Malpas or Prees. With no people jumping up and down to take up the lead to Prees we all headed out together before a breakaway group formed just before […]
Rumble in the Jungle
Although we set off as one group from the Legion, it was soon decided that a “long group” should separate off and make their own way to Malpas, with the idea of then setting off for Prees. The minor problem was that we were without any leader, and none of us knew where we were […]
Short run – Lavender Barn
The short run today was a TBA, and it was quickly arranged at the Legion to trip out via a winding route Dunham Massey way. Terry Veal had already said to us (at the Legion) that he’d rode down with new boy Graham Gregory, and that he was ‘already knackered’. We weren’t sure quite what […]
Eccleshall
It was good to see lots of riders at the club, all enthused no doubt by the Tour and the Olympics. A large group of 18 set off on the long run to Eccleshall, led very ably by Kris on some lovely quiet Cheshire lanes which I for one didn’t recognise. We were promised a flat […]
Guide Dogs for the Blind Charity Ride 5t...
Well what a day! Ever since Al started running the Charity Ride a few years ago the focus was on getting families and new riders involved for the day on a easy paced ride. Previous rides have seen Andy Beswick charge up Chapel Lane on his mountain bike with the youngest in his bike seat. […]
Ice Cream Farm (Short Run) – 29th July 2
Normally you’re the only one floating through a sleepy Northwich on a Sunday morning. The chime of the church bell your only companion as the odd person trundles home from a heavy night out before but as we rocked up to the Grand Depart at the British Legion we were joined by a car park […]
