Club Ride Diary
Every which way…
A very large turn out at the Square meant that we had to divide into groups and choose several destinations to disperse ourselves. The sport riders headed south, for Wotton sub Edge and Westonbirt, the A riders heading for Slimbridge and the B riders took off in three...
New rides list
The Club autumn tour will be to Ludlow, with eight takers as of today. Dates are Friday 11th to Sunday 13th September. Contact the Captain if you are interested. The Dancey trophy and Bruce’s Bonus season has restarted and points will be awarded in the usual manner...
Ride to Kerne Bridge for a new cafe stop
A great ride out this morning to the Kerne Bridge. The sharp climbs between Kempley and Bromsash meant we had deserved our coffee and cake at Flanesford Priory. The climb from the Wye to Ruardean proved to be too soon after coffee, and at the top, I noticed a strange...
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...
A good attendance at the Black Shed on a sunny and breezy morning
A strong attendance at the Square meant that several groups rode, to keep their maximum size down to six. Great views were had across the Severn to May Hill and Littledean on a clear Sunday morning. After an excessively hilly route to Chedworth last week, the club's B...
Updated Guidelines for Club Rides
Following the resumption of group rides (see Announcement) and experience gained from our A & B rides on Sunday we have updated our guidelines for group riding as follows: DO NOT ATTEND any club event if you, or anyone in your household, is symptomatic, or...
Club Rides to restart
Sunday, 5th July, sees the first club ride for some time. The destination for the B ride is the Woodlands cafe in Cinderford. If anyone wants to lead a shorter ride to Birdwood or Huntley, please let the Vice Captain know. We will be asking riders to ride in small...
Club and Social Rides in July
The club has been carefully monitoring government regulations, advice from cycling governing bodies, and observing what is happening in practice around our area and now believes there is a case for some club activities to recommence from Sunday 5th July. We recognise...
