Broadway village

Eleven riders left King's Square at around 8:40 am, after one rider sadly decided to head home due to a mechanical issue. On this bright morning, we took the green cycle path all the way from the Oxstalls campus to the left turn onto Old Gloucester Road. The youngest member of the group mentioned to the leader that he was keen to go a bit faster, but the pace was kept steady at an average of around 12 mph. We headed through Boddington and Tredington in a relaxed fashion. The Closing Meeting of...

A five-star Broadway performance.

The club had three groups out today, with the aim of meeting up for coffee. We've failed miserably on the last two meet-up attempts but this week it all went to plan. The Fast and Tempo rides left together, collecting extra riders along the way and then splitting in Leckhampton. Our route took us through Charlton Kings then Whittington (where MTB riders were gathering in large numbers for a British Mountain Bike Orienteering event). We then had a delightful tour of Cotswold villages; Syreford,...

Autumn Ride to Maisemore HQ

Six riders left Kings Square on a cloudy Sunday morning with a low prospect of rain. Out via Northgate Street and left over Gouda Way, straight past Kingsholm Stadium, and left along Sandhurst Road. Gathering at the pedestrian crossing we safely crossed St Oswalds Rd and then relaxed along our journey into Sandhurst. The wind coming from the perfect direction, it soon became evident the predicted average speed was under estimated and a brief amendment to the route would be required. Swiftly...
