Club Ride Diary
An uneventful ride
The expectation in January is either rain or ice, so it was a real bonus to have neither this morning. Eleven riders set off from King's Square for the National Trust’s Croome Park in a well matched group and enjoyed a flat sociably paced ride in the sunshine, where...
The New Year mystery ride
The suspense of the mystery ride was rather spoilt when the Captain shouted across King’s Square “Are you still going to Dursley?”. However, the seven riders who left the Square on the B ride could not have predicted the route to get there. An early puncture for the...
Boxing Day Ride

Nympsfield, on a day made for its wind turbine
Six riders left King's Square by an unusual route, due to the work in the Square. A further two, who came up with various excuses for being late, joined us in Matson, and we took to the familiar route up Nut Hill and Buckholt Road to Foston's Ash. A cautious descent...
After dinner ride to Ashchurch
