1892 and all that

by | May 19, 2025 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

It's tempting to dwell on the difference between that original ride in 1892 and this one, a hundred and thirty-three years later; the bikes, the roads, traffic, communications, GPS, etc. But perhaps it's the things which have remained the same that are more important; the pure joy of riding a bike through the English countryside, and the companionship of one's fellow riders. We had a maximum of twelve, with people joining and leaving at various points along the way. The weather was near...

Blue Skies

by | May 18, 2025 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Rather than getting up in the wee small hours a good number of riders turned up for my ride to Hailes. Starting off with a rather annoyingly cool north/north easterly wind thought was given to those doing the 150 mile challenge. We made our way out via Staverton, Boddington and onto Tredington where we took the second right towards Fiddington. We reached Ashchurch where I think the new houses and Outlet Village took us all rather by surprise. Behind the army camp and I think the early hour...

Where we are going there are no roads

by | May 14, 2025 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

The glorious recent and forecast weather tempted three to explore off road alternatives to the Club’s road ride to Lydney. Two opted for an early (eight o’clock) start; the Social Secretary followed later. Had he been too social the previous evening? After a brief taster across Ley Common the main course began at Elton with a glorious climb past the stables to Blaize Bailey. Along the way JR (no, not the one that was shot!) had a good discussion with the land owner about his sheep. After...

Spectacular scenery everywhere

by | May 11, 2025 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Despite the excellent weather, there were only six takers for the tempo ride to Lydney Harbour. However, it was an excellent group size, and the group stayed together well. Although the A40 may look on the map to be a busy main road, it is probably the safest and quietest of the three options to head towards the Forest. Beyond Huntley it is quiet, has some nice climbs over May Hill, and a better surface than any of the other options. Its a shame the same comment cannot be made of the surface...

Tempo ride to ‘The Nest’

by | May 5, 2025 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

With the inaugural "intermediate" ride ready to roll the tempo posse was reduced as some defected (holiday legs and all that) to the new format. So, five set off and somehow we ended up behind the intermediate ride on the Gloucester Road from Highleadon (see other report). That was "corrected" and a good pace was made to The Nest through our green and pleasant land, especially so at this time of year. The area around Putley was particularly enjoyable with a welcome stillness and good views....

First 08:30 start

by | May 5, 2025 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Seven riders opted for the first 08:30 start of the summer calendar, although it certainly didn’t feel much of a summer’s day, with riders checking their Garmin to see that it was 9 degrees. A far cry from what we had become used to over the last week. We left the square heading out of Gloucester crossing Westgate Bridge and onto Maisemore, where we turned off and followed the old road through to Hartpury. A quick right turn, followed by a further right took us through Ashleworth and along Ham...

Colder than expected Novice Ride to Newent

by | May 4, 2025 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Following a blistering week of very warm sunshine, obviously Sunday would be the day the weather decided to make a change. So, on a not so sunny Sunday, there were three riders who decided to take up the challenge of the Novice ride to Newent. In reality there was only one genuine novice rider in the group but “who’s counting”. We set off along the published route from the “square” to Highnam, lightly shivering against the northeasterly breeze. We followed the B4215 through Rudford to...
