Reading Time: < 1 minute Have you ever wondered are you eating or drinking enough on your 30 to 100 mile training rides? Well going through my many cycling books it’s always a nice reminder when you come across a picture which reminds you! and reminds you in a big way! and reminds you of the question! am I eating […]
Club 10’s – Round 4 – 30th May 2018
Reading Time: < 1 minute An unusually still and warm evening following a rainy afternoon produced float conditions and as a result we had a number of PB’s tonight. Paddy Lucas stole the show with his winning time of 25:08. Carl Hitchenson wopped a massive 1min 40 secs off his PB to take maximum 25 points towards his Guardian Cup […]
WVCC Summer BBQ 28th July
Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s around 2 months until the WVCC BBQ at the rugby club on the 28th July. The catering will be done by Clever catering again. Those that came last year all loved to food. Cost per adult will be £10 and kids under 12 £3:50. I will be asking for payment 3 weeks before the […]
Club 10’s – Round 3 – 23rd May 2018

Emily also stepped up another gear tonight on her meteoric rise to stardom with a stonking 24:40 for 2nd quickest overall out of 24 riders. Emily will go well under the hour for […]
Club 10 – Second Round – 16th May 2018
Reading Time: < 1 minute A great turnout for the 10 this week on a sunny but cool evening. Good to see a few new (and some old), faces setting benchmark times for the Guardian cup including: Rob Dacey, Darren Johnson, Luke Curbishley, Colin Latter, Carl Hitchenson and most notably 15 year old Sam Jones. Your rides from next week […]
Club 10 – 1st Round – 9th May 2018
Reading Time: < 1 minute Members were clearly put off by the rain that started early evening on Wednesday as only 7 riders took part. Shame as it stopped raining for the event so everybody who did ride got away with it. Incidentally skin is waterproof (says he who also didn’t ride)! Roadworks on the A50 forced a change to […]
Club 10 – Practice 10 – 2nd May 2018
Reading Time: < 1 minute A very windy night produced some surprisingly good times on Wednesday. Regulars will know that a strong wind directly behind on Penny’s Lane is a good sign as you get a 2 mile kick start followed by mostly cross winds, with very little head wind. We had a few first time riders and all went […]

The weather was cool with showers scudding across the skies but fortunately skirting around the course on either side. 18 riders supported the event, some riding solo and others as pairs. The winning pair was Steve Malkin & Paul Connor […]
Lies, lies, lies and more lies
Reading Time: 7 minutes My Mum, bless her, has bad osteoporosis, she is shrinking by the day and has been doing so for years and years. Nearly 4 years ago my elder sister insisted that, as Mum’s condition was not good, we should all get tested while we were still young enough to give the professionals time to sort […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Hi, For one week only we will be meeting in a different location. There is a very large event taking place at the rugby club. We will be meeting opposite the COOP at Hartford shops on Chester Road.
Big butties and badgers, and cycling
Reading Time: 3 minutes Thought I’d better drag my backside out of bed and onto bike for a change, so I did. The usual suspects at the club, and a new face, out with us to see what this club cycling lark is all about. We were to ride a nice, relatively easy short ride to Dunham Massey, Derek […]
To 25 or not to 25…. that is the (Within
Reading Time: 5 minutes Not to 25 as it turned out. The Withington Wheelers 25 was, at the last minute, shortened to a 10, due to roadworks at the Ollerton crossroads, complete with temporary traffic lights. Nevertheless, a TT was held, and we had 2 of our riders out today. Andy Milligan, who consistently batters out excellent times, was opening […]
