Reading Time: 3 minutesUnfortunately I do not have the time this week for a proper report on the long run… Very briefly, the run heading to Tittesworth, I ignored the advice to avoid Congleton and then Gun Hill as both were supposed to have blockages. Instead I thought we should take the ‘suck it and see’ approach. Paddy […]
Wanted – an event organiser! WVCC Open 2
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI know that it is the end of the season, but we’re already looking at events for next year, and have pencilled in our open 25 mile time trial for 6th July 2019. This great, but we don’t currently have an event organiser, and we need to secure one so that we can run this […]
The great bacon adventure of 2018
Reading Time: 5 minutesEdmund Hillary, Ferdinand Magellan, Scott, Shackleton, all great adventurers, all lovers of a bacon sandwich. Add Keen to that list. For today’s inspirational, Boy’s Own style adventure was lead by none other than the great fool himself. It must be said that it was entirely by default as no one else wanted to be lumbered […]
WVCC Open Hill Climb 2018
Reading Time: 2 minutes It was hill climb time on Sunday and time to see if all our preparations had worked. Being the first time I had organised an event there was more than a little bit of trepidation! I needn’t have worried at all, with all the help and […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesHi All, I just wanted to update you on club kit, and also on ordering for this winter. As you know, the last order we placed was with Giordana, as we’d been given a great offer by the company and wanted to save some money on kit. Most of what we got was great, sold […]
Wet, Wet, Wet – WVCC Open 25 2018
Reading Time: 2 minutesRemember them? Course you do. Most of the riders on Saturday also remember what wet, wet, wet really is, because that is what it was! Those who popped out, got wet. Although the day started out only slightly damp, more washing of the roads was to come. The day was split into 2 events, first […]
On the right track
Reading Time: 3 minutesWell, it felt really odd arriving at the velodrome in the daylight, but couldn’t let the first winter(?) season track session go by, so landed at about 19:10. No sooner had I got into the middle of the track I saw a figre in black at the other side of the track on the rollers. […]
WVCC AGM 2018 – Tuesday 25th September 2
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis post is to announce the date of the AGM, and encourage members to come along, listen to what we have done this year, what we plan to do next year, and hear proposals that you, our members may put forward. In addition to this, it is also a good opportunity to ask questions, and […]
A wet and windy Augember day
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf this had been a November weekend it would have been viewed as mild but a bit wet. With it being an August day however I am sure the weather was perceived as a lot worse than it actually was. Does that make sense? In fact it was rainy. And windy. Rainy and windy, a […]
25 TT and Hill Climb – Volunteers Requir
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIts that time of year again folks where we need your support in marshalling and helping out at our promoted TT events. This year the 25 TT and the Hill Climb are only a week apart. We are asking more of you to cover two dates so close together but we really need members to […]
Withington Wheelers 10 Mile TT – J2/1
Reading Time: 2 minutesFantastic turnout today for the Withington Wheelers 10 mile TT on J2/1 in Chelford with eight WV riders representing the club. Conditions weren’t looking too great earlier in the day but they cleared up nicely in time for the start, leaving just the stiff NW wind to contend with. This meant a tough out leg […]
R25/3H 25TT
Reading Time: 4 minutesAfter encouragement from Dave Fearon, I entered the R25/3H 25TT a few months ago, then looked at where the course actually was and realised it was in the southest of Wales! So I planned a couple of nights away with lovely friends who live in Gloucester which meant I could see them and also halve the […]
