Novice ride attracted two new riders

by | May 6, 2024 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Seven riders set off from the Cathedral, including two newbies: Andrew and Dare Sam. The ride leader took the scenic route, accidentally on purpose, from the Cathedral: riding around the Cathedral before setting off on the route proper to Newent. It was the funniest ride I think we have had in a long time. We took a route though the back roads of Maisemore before turning left in Hartpury and then right onto Blackwell's lane before turning left onto Mill Lane towards Redmarley. At Redmarley the...

The Club tour to Warwick

by | April 22, 2024 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Ten left the square on Alastair’s tour of the cycle paths to Bishop’s Cleeve. An unscheduled dismount in the traps at Southam and wet feet on the new cycle path at Bishop’s Cleeve were the only incidents of note before lunch at Copthorne. A hydration stop in Inkberrow introduced the younger riders to “The Archers” when we visited The Bull, on which Ambridge’s village pub is allegedly modelled. A slow puncture at Great Alne gave the Captain and President an opportunity to investigate a ford,...

Emus in Nupend

by | April 21, 2024 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Six of us left the square on a cold overcast morning. The sun was due to show, so we all set off optimistic. Heading out of town down Southgate Street, we turned right at the roundabout and over the swing bridge at the quays. Onto the canal towpath we traveled, passing many people busy setting up their fishing gear. We turned off the tow path at Sims Lane and crossed the Bristol Road and onto Olympus Park, passing underneath the A38 and into Kingsway. Eventually, turning off into Nass Lane...

Results from evening TT on 16th April 2024 on Pendock Circuit (single lap)

by | April 17, 2024 | News, Race | 0 Comments

Another great evening for racing on the picturesque Pendock circuit. We had a shower before the start, but dry cool conditions for the race. There was a northerly wind which made for a tough outbound leg.Racing was very competitive with Vince and Daryl crossing the line at the same time.Matt Hill prevailed in the open race with an impressive time of 23:02 on the night.Damian Dodd was the fastest in the Road Bike category with another impressive time of 25:13. Nathan and Jon were again...

Enjoying the dry weather

by | April 15, 2024 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Despite the early start, fourteen set off from a sunny Square in calm but cool conditions. 8.30am certainly gave us quieter roads to exit the City. Out via Longlevens, Innsworth and Frogfurlong lane to the Green ¾ mile section. Temporary lights on the edge of Chelt slowed us, but we were soon on our way to Swindon Village and the lane that conveniently pops out at ‘Smiths’ (old name die hard). Traffic here as we passed the car boot sale by the racecourse. Our first crossing of the...

First dry ride this year

by | April 14, 2024 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

The rides list showed Broadway Tower, and although the leader decided that it was too cold to sit outside that exposed cafe, he did stick with that general direction and go to Wickhamford. This turned out to be a poor choice in a strengthening SW wind. Our only obstacle on the outbound journey was Cleeve Hill, and once this was behind us, we enjoyed the fresh tarmac through Greet and on along flat lanes to our destination, where excellent coffee and cake were enjoyed. The planned return via...

Floods and headwinds after coffee

by | April 8, 2024 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Six riders departed coffee for the appointed lunch stop at Bredon's Hardwick. Descending towards the floods, the Captain was confident of a way through - having keenly observed other cyclists using the route. He was correct - although the lane to the B4211 was in a poor state with much standing water and copious amounts of debris. Upton was soon gained and the direction of travel benefited from a helpful wind. Over the bridge to admire the lakes, and then across the A38 at the new large...

Rhydd or not

by | April 7, 2024 | Club Ride, News | 0 Comments

Wind forecast for today was for a very strong south westerly and forecast was right for once. A quick conflab in the Square resulted in a change of cafe to Clive’s at Upton. Easier for the ride home. Taking a familiar route out of Gloucester to Maisemore then the traditional route over the Muur de Chargy (that’s its name according to the OS). Through the well know back lanes we emerged in Pendock, then through to Birtsmorton, followed by Castlemorton, after which I was relying on Toby’s...
