Club Ride Diary
Around the Cotswolds, stopping for a Revolution
A well-presented group of six assembled in good time at 8 a.m., departed North via the quiet A38 to the Odessa turning, then took lanes to Gotherington and around the Cotswold outliers. They kept the escarpment to their right, cloaked as it was in low and menacing...
Sunshine on a Bank Holiday weekend. Will wonders never cease?
Bright sunshine and warm weather meant that this was the first Sunday when most riders chose shorts, which is quite a comment on this Spring's weather on the last weekend in May. The sunshine provided a very enjoyable and social sports ride through lanes to the...
A visit to the Coln, by way of the Frome and Churn
Reports reached King's Square that a sports rider had punctured on the way in, so the sports ride waited for him, and were last to leave Gloucester. This led to a bit of congestion on Nut Hill as they passed the Captain's Group, and again on Buckholt Road, where they...
Sun and showers greeted the Club today

A bright morning for a popular ride
A bright morning saw a good turnout of over forty riders in King's Square, with a wide range of capabilities and machines. Veteran cycles from the Tyndale section complemented the modern machines on display; a folding bike and a tandem demonstrated some variety...
Dursley, Berkeley, and Arlingham club rides in the spring sunshine
The President led a select group of four on a B route that proved to be challenging, beginning with Horsepools Hill and then striking across the Painswick stream to tackle Stepping Stones Lane for some glorious views across the valley to Whiteshill and Randwick....
Wintry weather for a ride to Tewkesbury
Well, they associate April with showers, and today didn't disappoint! Four club rides set off from King's Square, by different routes to Tewkesbury. The ride led by the Vice Captain experienced sleet and hail in Leckhampton, where they caped up, then removed the...
Am I a Marshall? Find out using our web site
All club events rely on volunteers. Perhaps the most important of these are the ones who assist at races, for without them events would be cancelled and riders sent home disappointed. Of those, the Timekeeper stands out as vital, and thanks are due to...
