Tempo Ride to Clive’s of Cropthorne
A dry and sunny day was forecast, and it stayed that way, great cycling conditions with a slight northerly wind. The Steady ride had left at 0830 hrs, and it seemed as if it was just Tempo riders that were assembling in Kings Square. Numbers gradually swelled to 15...
Looping Loops
A forecast good weather day saw a baker’s dozen turn out for the Moderate ride to Clive’s at Cropthorne. The Captain, standing in for the official ride leader, sadly called to work, led the group out via Kingsholm and Escourt Road (not Avenue as advertised!), thence...
Club Steady B ride to Earl’s Croome
Nine members left King's Square, unsure of the weather, which was rather cool considering it's only two weeks to midsummer's day. A gusty south wind helped in the outward ride via Sandhurst and Wainlodes Hill, a hill you don't seem to climb but offers a very fast...
Perfect ten
At five to nine I was the only rider in sight, hiding from the drizzle under the canopy along the side of Iceland. I quite expected only one or two more, given the miserable weather and the unpromising forecast. Much to my delight people kept appearing out of the...
In memory of Rob Doman
Rob, who passed away in February last year, as well as being a Gloucester City CC member was a member of Bridgenorth CC. A commemorative ride from Bridgenorth was held today, with the Bridgenorth club ride being joined by five Gloucester riders who drove up for the...
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....

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...
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...
