During last Sunday’s epic, only for the brave and strong ride, I became aware that my wheels were in need of attention. The relentless freezing rain had got in to the hubs and washed away the lubrication, replacing it with a screaming mouse sound effect so I was aware that work was needed in the form […]
Well, ladies and gents, it’s nearly here. Not Christmas; Llanberis. You will all by now have had your email from Jim with the finer details and arrangements, now here is the route, followed by a few key notes about the weekend. Please read them. Saturday Route: Llanberis 18th March 2017 – Day 1 – Hartford […]
With a looming Llanberis I fully expected a huge and heaving contingent this morning, dozens of excited and eager racing snakes looking to pile in some hilly miles, cyclists chomping at the bars to get some last minute distance in. Five. That was it, 5 poor unfortunate souls shivering in the porch of the rugby club. Including […]
Some of you may recall my previous experience of this event when I last rode it 3 years with Dave Fearon, my tri bar fell out, so I spent much if the ride with it bouncing off the front wheel. I started the morning off by actually getting my TT bike down for the first […]
I have a heavy week this coming week and so opted to not go on the hilly Saturday ride and headed straight for Hatchmere instead. From what I heard there were no takers at the club for the hilly ride anyway today. Llanberis must be in the air as by the time we set off, at […]
Here we go again, this is our chance to retain the Harold Kewish Trophy, last year we finished with 25 riders, entries open on 1st March. This is advance notification for those clubs that have entered 4 or more riders in previous Wild Wales Challenges, organised by Cycling UK (formerly Merseyside CTC). This years event […]
Change of plan from calendar. With LLanberis around the corner a hilly one would be good. Plan is to go to Llangollen and have lunch in the Butter Crust café. Then tackle the Horseshoe Pass on the way home. Great climb if you’ve not done it before!!
All things considered (Llanberis panic training), it was a fairly small contingent at the Rugby Club on Sunday morning. The weather was really mild compared to recent weeks so it was set to be a nice clear day on the bike for all, with just a bit of wind to contend with. Having ridden 85 […]
Jim, Geoff, Stuart, Christine, Mark, Kevin and me were at the gates this morning at 9.30. Destination, the No Car Cafe. I haven’t actually established whether, if you were to turn up in a car, you would be refused. Anyway, it’s a great place. This was a ride we did the week before Wild Wales last […]
Cheshire Rural Touring Arts have leant their support to another cycling play. [those who were at ‘Beryl’ last year at Tarvin were not disappointed]. This time we take on the mighty ‘Ventoux’ and it’s local being at the Lion Salt Works, Northwch.. Tickets are going to go fast so get in early if your thinking […]
The cry on social media was, ‘9.30 meet to get to Ruthin in preparation for the looming Llanberis’. Jim, Jules, Phil, Iain, Stuart, Kevin, Geoff and me arrived at the appointed hour in the refreshing 3 degree temperature. A discussion followed about the heavy snow and poor conditions reported in north Wales. A quick vote was […]
MRTL 10th February In order to satisfy my nerdiness i thought that a record of results would be a good idea in order to see if i am improving, getting worse or staying the same. To that end a points system has been devised; there are 5 events each meeting, a win in an gives […]
As a club, we’d like to wish Andrew Simpson @simmo_on_sport all the best for the future, with a heartfelt thanks for supporting WVCC all these years....
