Delamere Off Road Sat 4 Aug

Giles B, Steve M and Matt making up the regulars with welcome re-appearances by Phil S, Giles from Kingsley (with his gears now working) and Jim D (with a new rear mech) taking this tricky bridge in his stride.

Guide Dogs for the Blind Charity Ride 5t...
Well what a day! Ever since Al started running the Charity Ride a few years ago the focus was on getting families and new riders involved for the day on a easy paced ride. Previous rides have seen Andy Beswick charge up Chapel Lane on his mountain bike with the youngest in his bike seat. […]
Club 10s – Guardian Cup – Event 9 – 1st
Results from an evening with less favourable conditions than last, and a generally slow night for all, despite being inspired by Brad Wiggins bringing home a gold medal in the Olympic TT!* *This comment doesn’t apply to Lee, who seems to wind in 23s no matter what the conditions!!
Off Road Rides update
Good turnout of 10 for the last ride on 21 July and some new faces to the fat tyre gang – Titch, Andy A and Phil. We were also joined for his first club ride by Giles from Kingsley who did fantasticly well to go the distance despite jumping gears and not being used to riding with […]
The weekend’s longest run
What on Earth possesses someone to ride 600km? A question I asked a few years ago when I first looked at the Audax website in search of a new challenge having got all the way to 50 miles on a day out. At the end of my first 150km ride, back in 2005, I could […]
Ice Cream Farm (Short Run) – 29th July 2
Normally you’re the only one floating through a sleepy Northwich on a Sunday morning. The chime of the church bell your only companion as the odd person trundles home from a heavy night out before but as we rocked up to the Grand Depart at the British Legion we were joined by a car park […]

Holt (Short Run) – 22nd July 2012
Sorry for the delay in this week’s blog, Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins took over my Sunday afternoon. As I’m also rubbish at remembering to take photos, this one of Wiggo seems more apt on what was a very special day. Sun (yes that stuff in the sky which is shiny and dead warm) greeted […]
To Rainow and back in time for the Champ...
Kev offered to lead the longer run to Rainow, but this suggestion was met with a universal “but we want to be back in time for the Tour”. So Kev promised that we’d be back for 2 p.m. – and we nearly were. It was a beautiful day for a ride to the hills, and we […]
