Eureka Cafe Poem
Claire O’Brien was moved to write a poem following her recent outing with the “wrinklies” on Wednesday, well done Claire, good to have another slant on the day and nice of you to contribute to the blog. Thanks. Eureka Cafe Wearing ear-rings and bandanas, like weathered pirates,these lean coyotes with the high cadenceand relaxed, easy […]
Sunday 23rd November 2008
On waking up to pouring rain I nearly opted out of today’s run: but I’m glad I didn’t, we had a great ride. A fairly tortuous decision-making process at the start resolved itself with Martin leading one group going to Two Mills (the planned route to Loggerheads was deemed over-ambitious given the wind and rain) […]
Long Mynd Sat 6 Dec
What a fantastic day! Clear blue skies, great tracks, good company, pub lunch, brilliant views and delicious cake. Rob Petit, Andy Beswick, Eleanor Underhill, Gareth Thomas, his friend Nick and me covered about 25 miles including the ascent of the Mynd 3 times. We took the road the 2 miles to All Stretton where we […]

Meet at the mountainbike centre car park at 10am. This is the best of the man made trails in the world ( well – any that I have ridden). All abilities welcome – see www.coedllandegla.com for more info and bike hire. Great cafe and a selection of routes from complete beginner to expert. Remember, off […]
Today’s run was a steady circuitous ride in Autumn sunshine, efficiently led by Richard Munro, in the absence of Richard Calder who had an argument with some tarmac after a night on the tiles with Chris Latter. Best wishes to Richard C for a speedy recovery – maybe this will finally dissuade him from his […]
Run Sunday 5th October to Connah’s Quay and Chester. A good turn out despite the fact that it had poured down all night. On arrival at the club the absence of an appointed run leader became evident. Leadership vacuums are always fun to watch – who would fill the void? Everyone avoids eye contact in […]

Meerbrook (Tittesworth Resevoir)
Not the cafe I’d planned to go to but the nearest one which could handle the numbers! Once again a fantastic turnout of 28 riders at the Legion which allowed us to split into two decent sized groups. One group for the long hilly ride and one for a shorter flatter route, this arrangement works […]
