Captain’s report: Sunday Ride to Stroud on 6th August
Fifteen riders opted for the 'B' category ride to Stroud. With Toby leading the group were in a degree of expectation. The intention was for an easy start and a slightly harder finish. The route out of town was south on the Bristol road, Quedgeley and ontot he...
City riders tumble from their cars
A disappointingly small peloton formed up in Monmouth for the "Motor Assisted Ride". The group set off on the lumpy roads to Abergavenny with a stiff headwind. We were briefly joined by another member, who had ridden out to meet us, and turned home before we had...
Black Mountains Ride
A fine morning dawned to see three riders in King's Square for the annual iconic Black Mountains Ride. We set off at 7:00 and soon picked up a fourth rider. On a variation to the usual route, we crossed the Wye at Hoarwithy, and picked up a fifth rider soon...
A’ category ride on Sunday 9th July
John Cook led an excellent ride with eleven club members out for the journey to Berkeley. The theme was traffic free sections, the first being the Severn – Thames canal to the east of Stonehouse, after the group had passed through Whadden and Haresfield. The little...
Great day for the North Cotswolds ride
Eight o'clock saw the Vice Captain lead ten riders from King's Square. At least two, one being a guest from Texas, had preannounced their intention to do a shorter ride, but after the Hors Category Ham Hill to nearly 250m and the Cat 1 Brockhampton to 280m, only six...
A brief (?) summary of a memorable ride
Under clear blue skies and with 20ºC already at 09 00, reportedly, fourteen riders left Kings Square on the announced promise of a “gentle beginning with later undulations” for a B ride to Dursley. Mixing with some solo riders crossing Sneedham’s Green, a brief...
Varied weather and terrain for a hilly ride to a new café
Fifteen left the Square for the B ride. A brief shower on the way to Rudford prompted one rider to call in at home for a bike change, then we lost another who saw discretion as the best option and left us at Clifford’s Mesne, wisely leaving us to manage the...

Malvern & Staunton rides May 7th
Excellent turn out for what seemed to be the warmest day of the year so far. We even saw a few riders in shorts! There was a well attended sports ride with "a lot of pace within the group when it mattered", a B ride to Great Malvern that was so large it had to be...
Sunny ride to Falfield
Fine bright day, with a light-ish NW wind brought the crowds out, possibly the biggest turn-out in King's Square so far this year. Seventeen on the Sports ride headed out towards Broadway. Two B rides to Falfield, each with about a dozen riders, one hilly and one...
