Care passing horses

In my experience, our members are very good when meeting horses on our rides, slowing, announcing their presence, and if necessary, stopping. However, with this fine weather bringing more people on bikes and horses out onto the lanes, its worth reminding all riders to be considerate when encountering horses.

Speed judging competition results

On a cool evening the first speed judging competition of the year was held on the Barrow course near Staverton. Lots were drawn to select the two speeds to be matched, one for the clockwise circuit and the other for the counter clockwise one. 13 & 14 mph were the targets. First off were Malcolm (14mph) and timekeeper turned competitor Emma (13mph). Malcolm was quickly caught by his minute man, an ominous sign for one of them at least was misjudging it. Despite his cunning use of a fixie...

Bluebell ride

On a sunny but chilly morning nine riders left the Square via the Cathedral to cycle along Sandhurst Lane. One scantily clad rider admitted feeling cold but a good climb ahead would soon warm her up. The riders all elected to tackle the rough track up Sandhurst Hill and were rewarded with clear views in all directions. As the group were about to depart the summit J announced that he had a puncture, which meant longer to admire the view from the comfort of a table, bench and chairs. Repaired...

Julian Ingmire

It is with sadness to pass on the information that Julian Ingmire passed away quite suddenly on Friday 4th April. Julian was a member of Gloucester City Cycling Club for many years before moving to Bristol where he then joined Bristol South. Julian started with the family Photographic shop in Southgate street - then Bristol and a few years later bought a cycle shop in Swansea. He was a keen TT rider and together with his wife Sue did a lot for the City Club organising one year the Steve Taylor...

Roadman’s 6.5 Mile TT

Veteran Jeremy Addis set a scorching time of 15:57 on the Elmore Loop, averaging 24.45mph on a Road Bike! I think this is the third fastest time ever recorded on the course. The club record is 15:31 held by Sean Townsend. Damian Dodd was second in 17:35, with veteran Vince Douglas only 15 seconds behind after a quick wheel change due to a puncture in the warm-up. Congratulations to everyone that raced and a big thank you to the timekeepers, Emma Biggs and Malcolm Grainger.
