Club Ride Diary
Ouch! Don’t let this happen to you
With the onset of winter conditions the roads are becoming treacherous. On each of the last two Sundays there have been incidents, fortunately without any tragic consequences. One involved a rider in the sports group hitting an unannounced pothole and visiting...

Remembrance Day
Thirteen met in Kings’ Square: sunshine and 3°C at 08:30. Bustling along through Tibberton to Birdwood, Soudley, and Parkend we paused for the Scouts’ and Guides’ church parade in Clearwell arriving at Clearwell Caves at 10:40 to find the café closed. Plan B took us...
Ledbury ride, in the President’s (aka the Ride Leader’s) words
A dull and windless day but dry, and a nice temperature. Fourteen riders on the President's B ride: easy lumps to Redmarley, avoiding Bromsberrow, and little lanes to Lilley Hall.An extra loop or two was called for as progress had been swift and trouble free. "Nice...

Club Ride 22/11/2015 to Kemble airfield, AV8, then Frocester
We had a good ride this morning 13 riders on the B ride and about the same on the sport. On a very cold morning we left Kings Square and headed off up Nuthill and Fiddlers Elbow. This warmed us up.It was then less strenuous as we cycled along the Whiteway to Sapperton...
Club Ride 05/12/2015 – CTC Carol Service / Berkeley / Cam
Another dull and damp day with plenty of southwesterly wind say around 12 riders head south into the gale. The lanes were quite dirty after the recent heavy rains and Louise punctured near Cam. Following the repair we pushed on to Berkeley where a halt was called for...
Club Ride 13/12/2015 – Holly Ride
Our traditional holly ride saw yet another dull, damp day - but it refrained from actually raining, there was no wind and it was reasonably mild, so not all bad! Only two turned up in ‘fancy dress’ to secure the extra point towards the Dancy Trophy.  The AA ride,...
