Reading Time: < 1 minute Not sure where the shorter ride went, but the longer ride, led by Jed, went to Thurstaston (not easy to say if you have a lithp). It was like 8 green bottles. We started with a nice, companionable and conversationally-compatible bunch of 8 and set off through Crowton and beyond on a pleasantly-roundabout route to […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Here is a picture of our junior ride enjoying the sunshine… Three rides today – one longer one, one shorter one, and one for juniors and beginners – an excellent idea, and judging by the numbers at the British Royal Legion, one that is proving v. popular. Dave Fearon led this ride, Alan took the […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes Carl, Kevin, Richard, John, Chris and Kevan enjoying spring sunshine at Erbstock.. A good turn out at Hartford – the shorter group set off for a circuitous ride to the ice cream farm whilst I joined the longer group, setting off to Bangor on Dee and led by Richard Munro. There were nine of us, […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes Well it must be spring, because we’re setting off at 9.30 on Sundays now. I know the “old” diary says 10 a.m. and it said 10.30 in the Guardian but they’re all wrong and we were right. This confusion might explain the lower than normal numbers out for a ride today – probably 12 or […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes An amazing weekend! Somewhere between 40 and 50 cyclists made it to Llanberis and back in weather that was considerably better than the forecast and infinitely better than the Acopalypse of two years ago. So we had a tailwind on the way out and nothing much to worry us on the way back other than […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Well how hard can a ride to Two Mills be, I thought to myself as 11 of us set off from Hartford? I should’ve known as soon as Alan Kemp decided to take the lead and direct us over towards his favourite training grounds. Down to the ice cream farm and already we were down […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Well at least some of us managed to get some miles in, despite the covering of snow and post-club-dinner-hangovers! Kev and I had a great ride on our mountain bikes up past Vale Royal Abbey, along the Whitegate Way (the dinky bits of singletrack along the side of the main path) then through the forest […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Well at least we managed a ride, after all that snow and ice, but it was of the very wet variety, the sort where you don’t want to be either 1. the rider without the mudguards because everyone tuts at you or 2. the rider behind the rider without the mudguards because you get diluted […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Hello All, Due to the continuing bad weather Sunday runs will be decided on a weekend by weekend basis.Sunday 10th may not go ahead if it looks bad then chances are it is!, I can’t commit to taking a ride for someone to come off and get injured, Sorry about this situation with Llanberis looming […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Thanks to Alan Silver for this run report…A good turn out lead by Alan despite the cold & damp 19 in total All set off in the same direction but within 4 miles the first of many punctures ,Dave Astles the first victim and in heavy rain, Kevan,Alan Kemp,Kevin Campbell,Dane & Dave Fearon had a […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute A good group met at Hartford and split into a longer and a shorter group. John Conboy led the longer group which I joined. We rode out of Weaverham via Acton Bridge and a succession of short poky hills up to Kingsley, then over to Delamere Forest, and up the Yeld to Primrose Hill and […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Thanks to Nick for the following run report…Alan Silver took one group and Paul Lawson led the rest of us (about 18 to start with) along the lanes through Nantwich and Wybunbury to Dagfields for an early lunch. 12 of us enjoyed beans or the local delicacy; Staffordshire oatcakes, gallons of tea and victoria sponge.
