Reading Time: 2 minutes Well I’m feeling very virtuous having raced twice in three days! On Sunday I entered the National Women’s Series Road Race in Weaverham – it was a fantastic race, and was described by Paralympic gold medallist Sarah Storey, who came second, as the best women’s race she’s ever ridden in the UK. For more details […]
Delamere Saturday 1 May
Reading Time: < 1 minute Only 5 set out at 10am, Kev C turning up a little late missed us. Matthew managed the bridge and the ladder. Andy B showed of his improved fitness levels and Mike D his new Giant mega travel full suspension bike. Steve from Didsbury joined us for the first time and found the uphills tough […]
A ride through Sandstone country to Erbi...
Reading Time: 2 minutes Carl, Kevin, Richard, John, Chris and Kevan enjoying spring sunshine at Erbstock.. A good turn out at Hartford – the shorter group set off for a circuitous ride to the ice cream farm whilst I joined the longer group, setting off to Bangor on Dee and led by Richard Munro. There were nine of us, […]
Llangollen and the Berwyns 17 April
Reading Time: < 1 minute Six of us enjoyed the finest day so far this year following the routes from Llangollen recommended by Kev C’s friend Pete, who was unfortunately not well enough to join us. Kev C, Chris Gregory, Rob Jones, Steve Cox from the Crewe, Eleanor and I made up the party. This is Rob enjoying one of […]
Delamere 3 April
Reading Time: < 1 minute Despite the earlier start time of 9.30am and many of the regulars being away or otherwise engaged over the bank holiday weekend, nine of us had a bright sunny morning around the trails of Primrose Wood. Good to see John from Sandiway out for the first time – I don’t think we scared him off […]
Spring has sprung
Reading Time: 2 minutes Well it must be spring, because we’re setting off at 9.30 on Sundays now. I know the “old” diary says 10 a.m. and it said 10.30 in the Guardian but they’re all wrong and we were right. This confusion might explain the lower than normal numbers out for a ride today – probably 12 or […]
Lakes Weekend 20/21 March
Reading Time: < 1 minute 11 of us made it to Whinlatter on Saturday to ride the challenging Altura north and south loops. Here we are at the highest point on the south loop. Grey skies slowly brightened and the cloud lifted, so we did it again after lunch. Check out the video below of one of the climbs – […]
Delamere Saturday 6 March
Reading Time: < 1 minute Seven riders on what turned out to be a spring morning with some sunny spells. A big range in abilities as you can see from this video! But we all enjoyed 2 hours+ on the singletrack around the forest.Thanks also to Andrew for plotting the approximate route with his iPhone http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=520531&code=2d357dc82f1843f131f13ffcc3a2e543
Llanberis 2010
Reading Time: 2 minutes An amazing weekend! Somewhere between 40 and 50 cyclists made it to Llanberis and back in weather that was considerably better than the forecast and infinitely better than the Acopalypse of two years ago. So we had a tailwind on the way out and nothing much to worry us on the way back other than […]
Sunday clubrun and more snow!
Reading Time: < 1 minute What a surprise to wake up to a thick blanket of snow Sunday morning, dashed my hopes of last minute training on the road bike for the Llanberis weekend. So I went round to Hartford Social club on the mountain bike where I met Jed on his trike and Jon on his mtb. We headed […]
Hit the North mountain bike race
Reading Time: < 1 minute Four of us made the start of this year’s race (Ross missed out) but Kev Underhill had the misfortune to snap his chain fairly early on. It was a well run event with over 150 riders racing round a varied course with everything you would expect for mtb or cyclocross – a bit of a […]
Lakes Weekend 20/21 March
Reading Time: < 1 minute This is the top of Skiddaw which we might do weather permitting. We’ll certainly take in the fast, flowing Whinlatter Forest trails and some of the superb bridletracks around the Keswick area. I’ve booked Stybeck Farm Camping Barn at £12 each if we fill it. See http://www.stybeckfarm.co.uk/accommod.htm for a max of 10 people and we […]
