Reading Time: 3 minutesThe organisers had once again added the Stoke on Trent stage to the Tour of Britain calendar and it would have been rude to have not ventured along. Last year only 5 of the Weaver Valley ventured to top of Gun Hill but with Wiggins & Cav fever still in the air a big group […]
FCA Midweek Series – Event 22 – 1 Mile S
Reading Time: < 1 minuteReport from north of the border by Paul Lawson. The final FCA evening event of the season was run off in fine weather with no wind to hinder the riders on a quiet B road in Fife. Having never ridden a 1 mile TT before I was unsure of what sort of time could be […]

FCA Midweek Series – Event 21 – Purrin D
Reading Time: < 1 minuteReport by Paul Lawson. This weeks Fife Cycling Association event (and FCA members HC Championship) was moved from Purrin Den because of the poor road surface to another climb in the Lomond Hills area. The Craigmeads hill climb was even tougher than last weeks 1.4 mile haul up the Cleish Hills. Measuring 1.7 miles in […]
Off Road Weekend – Capel Curig and the B
Reading Time: 2 minutesSaturday started wet and it stayed that way. Richard led us on one of his fantastic “possibly rideable” routes from Trefriw via the steepest road I’ve riden up in years to Llyn Cowlyd where we followed the bridleway along the shore. Kev U tried his best to prove it rideable, but even he had to […]
Long Ride to Longnor (Changed to Blaze F...
Reading Time: 3 minutesby Jim Duffy A miserable over cast wet morning greeted all at the Legion. Approx. 15 riders headed off on the short ride, with a group of 11 opting for the much hyped, tough ride to Longnor led by Kris, with Kev C, Kev U, Jim D, Tony, Carol, Andy A, Titch, Pete, Max & […]

Malpas that turned into Holt (Short Run)...
Reading Time: 3 minutesSunshine and barmy temperatures greeted everyone at the Legion this morning. A strong turnout with a good 30 strong riders looking to take on rides to Malpas or Prees. With no people jumping up and down to take up the lead to Prees we all headed out together before a breakaway group formed just before […]
Rumble in the Jungle
Reading Time: 2 minutesAlthough we set off as one group from the Legion, it was soon decided that a “long group” should separate off and make their own way to Malpas, with the idea of then setting off for Prees. The minor problem was that we were without any leader, and none of us knew where we were […]
Short run – Lavender Barn
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe short run today was a TBA, and it was quickly arranged at the Legion to trip out via a winding route Dunham Massey way. Terry Veal had already said to us (at the Legion) that he’d rode down with new boy Graham Gregory, and that he was ‘already knackered’. We weren’t sure quite what […]
Eccleshall
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt was good to see lots of riders at the club, all enthused no doubt by the Tour and the Olympics. A large group of 18 set off on the long run to Eccleshall, led very ably by Kris on some lovely quiet Cheshire lanes which I for one didn’t recognise. We were promised a flat […]
Saturday Training Ride
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWith the thought of not being out on Sunday due to a much needed night out on town, I thought I would venture out on the Saturday training run. Marshalled by Jules it is a run to The Mills and back leaving from Kingfisher in Kingsmead at 9.30 and Hanging Gate, Weaverham 9.45. Today’s route […]
