Club Ride Diary

Because of the high risk of ice tomorrow, the club rides have been cancelled. If you choose to ride yourselves, please take extra care, and consider staying on gritted main roads.

In the absence of the designated B ride leader, a composite ride was formed and twelve hardy souls took the challenge – or more accurately declined the challenge of the Sports ride option. The route out was reasonably swift, a tail wind in assistance, along the A40...

I am not sure that the Vice-captain's reputation is entirely justified, but I think it was the main reason that only five riders headed to Lydney. It was a cold dank December morning, and the dampness only got worse as we headed into the Forest. In the style of a Tour...

The runs planned for January through to April have been compiled by the Captain and a list is available for download HERE. PLease note a correction on April 9th: the A ride will go to Stroud (not Soudeley). Thanks go to all members who have volunteered as ride...
