Club Ride Diary
The Holly Run
A "semi-dry" ride after a deluge on Saturday. The A/AA party, some dressed for the occasion, took Maisemore & Wooldridge Hill on the Over Old Road, where they lost Charles to fatigue. Ashleworth and Tirley where they paused to assist with a broken tandem, but all...
Good weather for December
Mild but blustery was obviously deemed to be good weather for December, as there was a fairly large turn-out in King's Square. A large sports ride departed for Frocester, an A and a B ride to Malvern and another A ride to the Stroud Carol Service. The A ride to...
A blustery day’s rides
A blustery day saw surprisingly high numbers in King's Square, and as the B ride left, it became apparent that it would be too big to manage. Simon volunteered an alternative ride, and six who really ought to know what a "Simon alternative" will be like, followed...
A ride to Ross on Wye
Considering the annual GCCC dinner had taken place the previous evening there was a good turn out of riders in the Kings Square at 9 o' clock. However, as I watched the various riders pull off with their respective 'B' ride leaders it soon became apparent that there...
100th Anniversary Armistice Day ride
A wet and foreboding start at the Square saw a reasonable number assemble for three rides, though only two took the "sport" option. A perfect five took the A option and, like the ten who opted for B, left in the rain.Their way along Blackwell Lane was blocked by a...
A damp November morning saw everyone down grade their ride
Considering the damp start and the low clouds there was a reasonable turnout this Sunday though everyone seemed to want to take it cautiously. The sport ride set off as a two up, the B ride led by Colin and the A ride by Richard set off on the tarmac for Stroud....
Another hot and popular ride in this fine dry summer
Sunny still weather saw five A and thirteen B riders leave the Square for Ross, together with a large sports ride heading for Slad. Adrian's route took us out through Highleadon, skirting North of Newent to Much Marcle. There was some disgruntlement at the back of the...
Motor assisted ride to Cheddar Gorge
The motor assisted ride was great and enjoyed by all six participants. We parked in Yatton at the Railway Sytion with its convenient cafe and cycled through Cheddar, up the Gorge, through Priddy and Wookey Hole to a good coffee stop just NE of Wells (The Old Cheese...

A very enjoyable morning out, on May 13th
A bright morning saw a sports ride and two B rides leave King's Square. The US Department of Defense spent untold billions of dollars creating the GPS system. The "faster" B ride used this technology to pilot them through the scenic Cotswolds to arrive at coffee in...
