Tempo and Fast rides to Tintern

Three fast riders and five tempo riders. The fast guys dropped us on the A40, and with a puncture in Flaxley putting the Tempo ride even further behind it was no surprise that we didn't cross paths at the cafe. There was plenty of climbing: Flaxley valley through to Soudley, Blackpool Bridge to Parkend, and then the drag up to Sling. Along the way we lost two riders to fatigue and family commitments, but the remaining three had fun on the descent to Bigsweir Bridge, although the gunshots from...

Introductory Ride in the Sun

8 Riders gathered at the square on a hot summer morning to try out the “open Invitation introductory” ride. Amongst the riders were a good number of experienced riders in addition to the 3 published leaders, which would go on to make to safety and enjoyment of the rider an even better experience. Letting the “fast guys” go first (for fear of embarrassing them by passing them later on), we set off out of town down Northgate Street, and made our way our along Kingsholm, and Sandhurst Rd, taking...

Saturday Slad Spin

We left the square with six, crawled through the Bristol Road traffic, then picked up number seven in Quedgeley. It was an excellent spin through the back lanes of Elmore and Epney, then across the bridge at Saul Junction (open to bikes and pedestrians only) before cutting through Whitminster and Westend to come out in Stonehouse. Here we lost a rider due to work commitments but carried on through Ebley to Stroud for the main event of the day - the climb up Slad valley. As usual this was a...

Tewkesbury, for once completely free of floodwater

At precisely 8.30 8 riders left King's Square to be quickly joined by an additional three members. Perhaps a couple of minutes delay would have been more generous. They made their way along the cycle path from the Docks to Maisemore (Route 45). It was very overgrown and in need of attention. It did require some concentration, but nobody came to grief and the dreaded Over roundabout was avoided. It was then the familiar route up Woolridge Hill and a whizz down to Hartbury with a swift right...

A brilliant morning out

If ever there was proof that choosing the destination once you have a firm weather forecast enhances the enjoyment of the ride, then this week's ride to Broadway Tower was that. We had everything, warm weather, fine views off the Cotswold edge, an excellent outdoor venue and a tailwind home. Apart from a brilliant morning out, little to report. A mutiny over Ham Hill, resulted in us climbing the A40, which was probably for the best. The only mechanical was a leaky water bottle, resulting in...

28th July TT results

Jeremy Addis is back on top form, winning tonight's event. Despite missing the event, Pete Kellow still leads the Paul Barnard Trophy table but Matt's second place moves him ahead of Pete on Dan Knight points. Congratulations go to James Reeves and Junior George Waters for improving their PB's by 1m 42s and 35s respectively. V80 John Murphy recorded his best time this season. Full season results, intermediate times and trophy points are available here Date Course Name Distance (miles)...

Mitchel Troy 26.07.26

Ten riders gathered for the ride to Mitchel Troy, and rolled out from the square into a stiff headwind beneath threatening skies, another rider joined the group, taking us up to eleven. We headed out over Westgate Bridge and briefly joined the A40 before turning onto the cycle path behind Over Farm and continuing through to Highnam. Here, Malcolm T left the group to tackle a gravel route, planning to meet us later at the café. Back to ten riders, we continued along the main road before turning...

Three Cities Results

On a warm and blowy day that began with a light rain shower Daryl Stroud recorded the fastest time to take the Boakes Shield for the first time. Nathan was the first road bike rider home and so he wins the Roadman's Shield, also for the first time. Congratulations to the winners and indeed to all the riders who took on the challenge in tough conditions. Thanks as well to timekeeper Emma.
