Club Ride Diary
Dursley ride report
With unsettled weather, Dursley was a sensible choice of destination. As anyone who knows the Vice Captain will testify, his routes will shun the Severn Valley for an ascent of the Cotswold escarpment on the way. Frocester Hill was chosen for this morning's torture,...
Another hot day in the saddle, just right for dining outdoors
The ‘easy B’ ride took an alternative route to the designated coffee stop at Broadway Tower, to the surprise of some that had expected the published route to be adhered to. No such rules for the Captain, who led the ride! A now standard group of six headed North via...
Ankerdine ride report
A brisk tail-wind allowed for fast progress on the familiar roads to Upton-on-Severn and Powick. The President, having been swept up near Chaceley, finally dropped off the back at the appropriately named Old Hills near Callow End, and rejoined the others at The...

Where did you ride today?
It was a beautiful sunny morning for a ride, with lots of solo riders and couples, as well as runners, on the Haw Bridge loop through Norton and Ashleworth. Rather encouragingly many of them didn't look like regular cyclists so perhaps when things return to normal...
