Club Ride Diary
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...
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...
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...
