Reading Time: 2 minutesA slightly more pleasant evening this week as the wind was a little more favourable, with a tailwind start, and a cross wind on the A50, but it’s never easier, you just go faster or push yourself harder! Fast men tonight were those flying into the 23s, with Jacob Booth from Team Bikehaus taking the […]

Race Report – Dave Astles Memorial Chesh
Reading Time: 3 minutesLast night was the 4th and final event in the Dave Astles Memorial Cheshire Series. The whole series has been well organised and thankfully incident free. With Iain marshaling and Jules stuck at work, it left Kev (in the over 55s), Mark Adshead and myself (in the 45-54s) to fly the WVCC flag. Conditions were […]
Jim “the b@st#rd”
Reading Time: 4 minutesWith the recent racing on a Sunday, I had been missing the good old club run, and with Pott Shrigley on the calendar, I thought it would be quicker to ride another 20 miles or so to Chinley rather than wait to get served and to pay there! So I changed the calendar a few […]
The familiar unfamiliar, big cakes, live...
Reading Time: 5 minutesIt was a cooler than expected start to the day as I left home for the club. I left my arm warmers on and did a few miles of spinning to get the legs warm. Fortunately, as I neared the club, glimmers of blue sky did appear in the distance, although the wind kept things […]
WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 1 – 1
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIn stark difference to the week before, the weather was dry but the wind was in an entirely different direction.

An off road weekend of ups and downs. An...
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe dates chosen for this year’s club off roader glamping weekend coincided with the ever popular Borderland Rotary Mountain Bike Challenge, so in democratic fashion I deferred my choice of the Scottish borders for the Welsh ones and last Friday evening eight of us arrived in Llangollen for the traditional MTBing triumvirate of eating too much […]

The Sun Shines on the Righteous
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe last time a large group assembled to head off to Ruthin back in February saw us absolutely drenched by the time we got there. Remember these?????
