Club Ride Diary
A ride to Ross on Wye

100th Anniversary Armistice Day ride
A wet and foreboding start at the Square saw a reasonable number assemble for three rides, though only two took the "sport" option. A perfect five took the A option and, like the ten who opted for B, left in the rain.Their way along Blackwell Lane was blocked by a...

Gold Cup week ends in a whiteout
