1892 ride to Portishead, Cheddar and Bath

So, it's six o'clock on a Sunday morning, you've been up for over an hour, you're nervously anticipating a long day's ride. What's the last thing you need? Yes, that's right, the club's 'official bugler' had decided to see us off and ride the first few miles with us. I'm expecting emailed complaints from music loving local residents at any minute. Including the bugler there were six of us taking the A38 as far as the Slimbridge roundabout. Not much traffic so we made steady progress despite...

First Day of Summer 2026

Nine riders took off from the square, one of which was a new rider to the club. I may as well get this out of the way now.... I was looking forward to the weather being a litter cooler than it had been recently (I still can't believe I am saying this) so as not to boil on the climbs. That now said, the cooling breeze was and would be most welcomed for the ride. We travelled along Eastgate Street and up through Tredworth then straight over Eastern Avenue into the Painswick Road. The captain...

A hot and sunny Bank Holiday Weekend ride. Wonders will never cease.

Heading out of Gloucester the fruits (or more accurately flowers) of No-Mow May were obvious in the roadside verges – a positive riot of colour to brighten what was already a very sunny day. Riders took advantage of the sunshine to cast a clout, even though May was not yet out, so nine, then ten, then eleven of us in our summer regalia headed out though Minsterworth. A double take was required here, for a flock of sheep surrounded a black lamb that appeared to be standing on a mature ewe’s...

The Saturday ride is rocking!

Today we had six riders on our 60 mile route to Broadway and back. The weather was beautiful and the route allowed for relatively fast riding. The group stayed together for the whole ride and we completed the course in 3.5 hours (17mph)

Here Comes The Rain

A bright but slightly chilly spring morning greeted the half dozen who turned up at the Square for the 8:30 ride to the Broadway Tower. We set off, only to be blocked almost straight away by the roadworks at the Northgate St/London Rd junction, and had to negotiate our way across via the pedestrian crossing .We headed out via Old Cheltenham road and the nice green cycleway with its dodgy kerbs. For those who don’t regularly use the route, there is some confusion about how some of the junctions...

A blend of youth and experience.

Today’s tempo ride went to Goodrich. Five riders left the square, two young guns, two old guys and me. My Garmin told me there were five climbs, Mike Clements’ Wahoo was more accurate with thirteen. The ride to the coffee stop seemed very long, but we still arrived at 11am after riding through the beautiful countryside of the Gloucester/Hereford border. The cafe (Hen & Dots) was first class and then it was time for the most significant climb: up Cats Hill to Ruardean. After we tackled the...
