Club Ride Diary
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...
Kings Square to Berkeley Square
At the Square sports ride numbers were severely depleted by our team’s commitment to the Betty Pharaoh Legstretchers road race in South Wales and perhaps some tired legs from yesterday’s University of Birmingham one day stage race. Still, there were more than enough...
March started wet and windy
Although the weather was uninspiring, we managed to have three rides this morning. The sports ride had 7 riders and set off into the wind, to be rewarded later when being blown back up the A38.
Gloucester City CC features in Cycling Weekly
The Club's Thursday group (above), founded in 1894 and revived in recent years (see here), rode to Broadway with Cycling Weekly journalist Dave Nash. The write up features brief interviews with several of the Club's characters and a good plug for Pepper's, our...
GCCC braves Storm Doris
Chapeau to the club riders out in the yesterday's winds, courtesy of storm Doris. Wind strengths of up to 94 mph were reported, with innumerable and unfortunately sometimes fatal incidents. Ken reported it to be a memorable experience. After abandoning plans to cross...
Beautiful weather for February
Beautiful weather for February, and a good turn-out this morning. Despite a team at the Frome 10TT, there was a big sports ride, 2 B rides to Dursley, where the Bank was once again a successful stop, and an AA ride to Saul. Very scenic in the Slad Valley and through...
Sleet and snow didn’t dampen enthusiasm on a ride to Ross
A cold damp morning with a NE wind didn't prevent an impressive turn out of around thirty five at the Square. The Sport Ride left first, heading South, followed by Vice Captain Ian Wareing and a handful of riders using the the challenge of a B+ ride though Littledean...
