Reading Time: < 1 minute The NWCCA Round 7 event was held as per usual, but a little wetter and a little muddier, which made for an increasingly challenging course as the day progressed! Nevertheless a very successful day, and the persistent and intermittent showers did little to put the masses from participating in all classes. Results are below, and […]
Kemp hits the headlines
Reading Time: < 1 minute A great story, courtesy of our friends at the Northwich Guardian, featuring our very own Alan Kemp. Well worth a read! [pdf title=”Alan Kemp – Tales of a Champion” height=”1250em”]https://www.weavervalleycc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/43npedalpowerkemp-copy1.pdf[/pdf]
Clocks go back this weekend!
Reading Time: < 1 minute Don’t forget now will you? At 02:00 on the 25th October (early Sunday morning when you are fast asleep), the clocks will go back an hour! This is probably fine if you use a smart phone or computer as they’ll probably set themselves. Best to check though! You really don’t want to turn up an […]
Web site under construction!
Reading Time: < 1 minute As you will have noticed by landing here, the web site is undergoing a few cosmetic changes, and some non-cosmetic, but functionally critical, updates! Please bear with me whilst these updates are in progress. There will be changes to existing pages, social media feeds, look and feel for traditional browsing/mobile content and ultimately, the forum.

The Weaver Valley Autumn Road Race – a r
Reading Time: 5 minutes 2015 – Weaver Valley CC Autumn Road Race – 11 10 15 – Results Well in the end all went well, but this race was never straightforward. Cheshire Police decided some time ago to ban any races using laps of 10 miles or less, so our race was in doubt. Then Graham Gregory came up […]
Return to the Howgills
Reading Time: 3 minutes We’d postponed this ride from September so a few of our fat tyre’d brethren could join us to revisit a popular ride from some years ago. In the end there was only Eleanor who had done this route before, with Tim, Iain, Jim and myself completing the gang. The usual start time of 10am suffered […]
A fast day on the hill – WVCC ‘Cat & Fid
Reading Time: 3 minutes Thanks must go out to all who helped in organising and running this year, and to all riders who enjoyed a clear and fast day this time round! Only 11 riders came off the start line before rider 12, Peter Tadros set the bar very high with a 20:00.2 ride (which gave him the Vets […]
WVCC ‘Cat & Fiddle’ Hill Climb – Sunday
Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s back, and it’s this Sunday coming! A field of 111 riders on the start sheet (see below), will battle it out to see if they can beat last year’s winner Adam Kenway’s 19:34.9 or even Tejvan Pettinger’s 2013 record of 18:16.8 on the 6.5 mile course up to the finish line near the pub. […]
A fast ride to Ruthin and back
Reading Time: 4 minutes Well having dithered about whether I was up to doing the long run or not, I decided to go for it, encouraged by the fact that John Keen (he of the “I hit the wall” forum post from last weekend) was doing it too and he might prove a useful ally at the back. A […]
Video and vegetation.
Reading Time: 2 minutes The turnout on summer MTB rides can be a little low sometimes, what with only having a smaller pool of riders to begin with and holiday commitments, but it seems like most of the regulars were keen to make the most of a pleasant day and we started off with 11 riders, (three new, nice […]
The Wild Wales Challenge
Reading Time: 3 minutes A dozen or so WVCC riders rode in the Wild Wales Challenge today, enjoying/enduring a tough 85 mile route with no less than 7,500 feet of ascent. We started in Bala, climbed up to the Bwlch-y-Groes, then down and up and down and up and down and up to the outskirts of Barmouth, then Dolgellau, […]
