Today’s the day!

I'm sure you're all aware that it's a special day today - the greeting card shops, pubs, and restaurants have been banging on about it for weeks. It is of course Prune Day! A celebration of dried plums. I put some on my porridge before reading on the packet that 'prunes contribute to normal bowel function'. Oh well, too late now. Six Tempo riders gathered in Kings Square, everyone else was presumably at home taking advantage of it being International day of Latex - "an observance for all latex...

Birds & Bridges (and Gospel Pass)

I have long expressed the view that times starting with an "8" are far too early for cycling, and the Cockerel at Birdwood obviously agreed, giving his customary morning greeting as we cycled past. A well disciplined group shared the wind and kept the speed down on th way out, perhaps fearful of things to come. Crossing the pretty Kerne Bridge, a Heron was spotted, but no wildlife was seen from the Bailey Bridge that took us to Symond's Yat. Fine views from the Peregrine Path, which although...

Club Steady B ride to Berkeley

The ride left the Square via the Park to avoid the roadworks in Southgate Street.  We followed a bus along Seymour Road leaving it at Tuffley Avenue only to meet it again on Podsmead Road. It was then the traditional route via Haresfield and Frocester. The views were very clear after the overnight rain. We arrived early at Berkeley so the leader decided to use his planned route back before coffee.  This involved cycling to the now decommissioned Nuclear power station and a path along the...

Heat Wave?

Martha Rees and the Vandellas, not to mention the Met Office, forecast a heat wave so short sleeves should have been the order of the day. Or not, after I stepped outside and felt the 10°C wind chill, A quick retreat and clothing adjustment readied me for a brief shower (heavy enough for Les to cape up) en route to King’s Square for the seasonally adjusted 8:30 start. Attendance was high class if not high volume as we rode west out of town. We gathered a couple of additional riders before...

Novice ride to Tewkesbury

The first day of Summer and the weather forecast was cloudy with a moderate south westerly wind but no rain, as the previous week was very sunny and warm that was about right for this ride. At the square I noticed a couple of riders who I had not seen before, I was politely informed that they were in fact well-seasoned members of the club who had visited us from afar so no concerns about their capacity to undertake the ride, as one rider had (and still does) held the record for climbing the...

Snatching Victory From The Jaws Of Defeat

Well after months of very settled weather it was all change and as I rode in towards town the squall that hit me was very off-putting - sudden rain, with gusts of wind that almost had me off and certainly delayed progress - but I was heading west of course. Arriving barely on time at the Square, I could see no cyclists - but no, a hardy foursome were sheltering next to Iceland. The forecast had obviously put several off, and I wasn’t keen myself at this point. However the rain had passed and...
