A gusty but great club ride today designed by our very own Routemaster Paul Stone. Riding out of Weston through Wick St Lawrence, Puxton, and Sandford the ride was pretty level. Then the fun started first up Butcombe Hill and then the Harptree Climb reaching 22% gradient! The back wheel was certainly spinning on that one. Once up and over Priddy it was a fast Cheddar Gorge descent followed by a Tea and cake stop at the bottom or the Gorge. Heading home via Axbridge and Banwell the rain came down but didnt dampen our spirits on another great Wheelers ride. We totaled  48 miles averaging 14mph and climbing 2500 ft. A big thanks go to Paul, Ben, Pete Ian and Pete. See you all next week! Download

This weeks ride was designed by Paul Stone and was a little longer than normal but the cold crisp and sunny weather made it one of the most enjoyable. We started with the Grand Pier warm up ride and carried on out of Weston and on to Brent Knoll. From there we cut across the A38 towards Mark. Then it was right to Woolavington and over to Bridgwater. Next we headed to Othery then around The Mump at Burrow Bridge. Finally it was homeward bound across the levels back on to the A38/A370 then Home. This weeks ride covered 71 miles climbing 1400 ft and averaged 16.1 mph. A big thanks to Paul, Andy, Ben, Pete, Andy, Ben, Paul, Jason and Duncan. Hope to see all again next sunday!   Download

  A good challenging route by Ben today and not just because of the 25 mph winds. The ride took us out through  St Georges onto the A370 then left past Brockley Court. Then we rode through Nailsea and Wraxall onto Failand. This took us around Ashton Court and across The Clifton Suspension Bridge dropping down to Hotwells and Spike Island over to Long Ashton and along the leafy Festival Way cycle path.Our next challenge was up Brockley Coombe and down the A38 past the airport. Finally turning right at the Churchill lights to Banwell and home. This weeks ride covered 55 miles climbing 2600 ft with an average speed of 14.2 mph. A big thanks to Ben, Duncan, Jason, Andy, Paul and Dan. Hope to see you all next week.   Download

Yesterdays breakfast ride down the Cheddar Gorge and a chat with the guys from the Salt and Sham cycling club. Thanks Daniel for the Pic.

  What a ride! This weeks route was designed by Mark Bradshaw and took us out of Weston through the misty countryside of Bleadon, Loxton and on to Axbridge. We turned right at Cheddar over to Wedmore. Once over Mudgley hill it was back  into the mist of the levels before arriving at Glastonbury for a welcome cake stop. The journey back to Weston via Mark was a great team effort staying together as a group and making the most of the tail wind. The ride totaled 57 miles climbing 1300ft and averaging 16.7 mph.  A big thanks to Mark, Greg, Ben, Andrew, Andy, Ian, Paul and Paul. The Wheelers meet every Sunday at 9 am at Priory School so why not come along for the 15 mile Grand Pier ride open to non members.       Download
