The Baker’s dozen ride again

A tidy thirteen met up at the Square for a prompt 8.30am depart, once again deep into the Cotswolds. With the Captain having failed again to publish the route, it meant the riders had to be well behaved and stay with the ride leader. Out via the newly surfaced London road; a spot of kerb-hopping onto Oxstalls Lane, and speedily but sensibly to Frogfurlong Lane and Dowty’s. A surprise turn to pass the airfield, and a Joker card played just over the M5: an immediate right to follow NCR 41 – a...

Back to the Nick

  Various “questionable” characters assembled in Kings Square; I counted Fletch, Godber, Harry Grout, Warren, Lukewarm, Ives and Blanco (Porridge characters, for younger viewers). There was another shady character but he didn’t fancy doing any “bird” and headed off for a bit of “block” (solitary confinement). Although I did hear that he was seen “legging it” on the A38 later! As we headed out of Gloucester we were joined by another reprobate and headed off on the route published (please...

Summertime, And The Living Is Easy

Another glorious day for cycling - just a shame about the drought conditions. At least today wasn’t muggy, with a decent bit of freshness in the air. A good sized group was at the Square which by the time we’d traversed the Over causeway had swelled to fourteen. A long but mostly flat ride had been promised, encouraging the President to be fixed-gear mounted - although he took the opportunity to miss the first small but steep hill over to Hartpury. Regrouping at the junction and descending to...

Race victory and a new 50 record for Club riders

Nathan Monk won the road bike category in the Royal Dean Forest Club's open 25 today on R25/7 with a time of 1h 5m 43s and in the ECAA Championship event held on the E2/50D2 at Newmarket Tim Radley set a new Club 50 mile record of 1h 42m 25s, beating the previous record of 1h 45m 16s set only last year by Tim Butler. This time also means a new Veterans on Standard record of 36m 13s at the distance. Daryl Stroud did a strong ride as well, finishing in 1h 57m 20s. Three other Club riders rode...

Who needs hills?

There seems to be an opinion that for a ride to be hard, or difficult, there has to be a sufficient amount of hill climbing involved. With this in mind a mixture of the Tempo and Intermediate rides set out on route to Clive's Fruit Farm at Cropthorne. The ride leader had a plan to have a relatively flat route for today, for that read "easier", because the weather was going to be pretty hot, what he didn't factor in was that just meant "faster". A breakaway of five became four after a saddle...

Speed can hurt your legs

With nine riders in the square on a near-perfect morning for a ride, we decided to set off as a single group and see how it developed. We thought the unusually flat parcours was unlikely to split the group, but some took the absence of elevation as a cue to go harder on the flat, and the group split into two on the beautiful lanes around Chaceley. The two groups each remained together to excellent coffee and cake at Clive's of Cropthorne. Returning as one group until Prescott Hill caused...
