Reading Time: 2 minutesWell Kev and I turned up at the Royal Legion at 8 a.m. (having intelligently put the clock forward not back) thinking it was 10 a.m. – and couldn’t work out why there was nobody else there. Maybe they’d started at 9.30 – so we set off like bats out of hell towards Prees to […]

Autumn Road Race – cyclists defy floods!
Reading Time: 2 minutesWell races don’t come much wetter. Unlike those soft golfers in South Wales, our cyclists weren’t prepared to throw in the towel (although a towel might have come in quite handy) – and 40 brave souls battled through flooded roads and torrential downpours today, to compete in the BC regional “B” series Weaver Valley Autumn […]

Delamere 4 Sept
Reading Time: 2 minutesA large turnout of 14 for the singletrack and a couple for the firetracks is a record for the off road section I believe. Giles and Les Charley making a welcome return to the fat tyres and a few of my friends and my brother added to the numbers. They all enjoyed it and reminded […]
Gisburn Forest 21 August
Reading Time: 2 minutesSaturday turned out to be a fantastic day for riding the purpose built red and black graded trails at Gisburn Forest. It’s a shame no-one else made it, but there were plenty of other groups riding the trails to keep me company. There are some fairly technical rocky sections and lots of very twisty bits […]

John is hoping to raise […]
Loggerheads – the way club runs should b
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis photo was taken during a very long cow stop on the way home from Loggerheads. But we were all bushed, so the stop (for about 1001 cows all walking very slowly) was very welcome.This was one of the best club runs I’ve done, with a baker’s dozen making it to the cafe – Vince, […]
Delamere 7 August
Reading Time: < 1 minuteHere is Kev U showing such speed that he’s just a blur (must get a decent digital camera) on one of the many sections of singletrack we covered. John showed us a couple more “new” sections which I have committed to memory. A very enjoyable ride despite the heavy rain halfway round and the mud […]
Alan’s Guide Dog ride
Reading Time: 2 minutesOver 30 riders including lots of new adult riders, and (probably) a record turn out of ladies and lots of youngsters. And somehow Alan managed to keep everyone together and everyone entertained! There was a hill climb, a sprint and one 4 mile road race for the youngsters and another for the adults. The winners […]
