Wednesday Evening Ride: 11th May 2022

After Star Wars Day last week, Google tells me this Wednesday is national Eat What You Like Day!  Excellent! But before you touch that delivery app, consider for a moment Thursday morning - when you come downstairs to all those discarded junk food containers in the kitchen - oh the guilt! the remorse!  The solution is obvious; simply inoculate yourself again the guilt and subsequent remorse, with a couple of hours out on the bike Wednesday evening!

Thanks to Lucas once again for this week’s route suggestion, a climb up from Wrington and around the back of the airport on Winters lane – should be a cracker.

The Weather’s looking good and everyone’s welcome. See you outside Priory school at 18:00

Wednesday Evening Ride: 6th April 2022

Wow …..domestic energy bills up another 50%. Let’s face it, even sitting around doing nothing is an expensive business nowadays. So rather than spend another evening under a pile of jumpers listening to the dogs teeth chatter, why not push back against the tyranny of the markets, and start generating some heat of your own on the Wednesday evening ride?


This week it’s the “Goldilocks” loop out to Mark and back via Chapel Allerton and Loxton. It’s so named because hopefully it’s not too hilly and not too flat. Should be a nice ride out, and we may yet see that much promised sunset over the levels!
Weather wise, it looks ok to me – but you might want to leave those deep section wheels at home!

Everyone welcome - see you outside Priory at 18:00 ( don’t forget your lights )

Sunday Club Ride : 12th September 2021

Here is the proposed route for this Sunday's club ride. The weather conditions suggest that going north is a good idea, although as there is a lot of gravel on the A370, we're taking a slightly different routing than normal to avoid that stretch.

Café stop at Wapping Wharf

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.

Wednesday Evening Ride: 12th February 2020

Looks like this Wednesday will be the calm between two storms. So, why not take advantage of this window of opportunity, and join us for a midweek ride.

This week’s route is an old club favourite, the “Rob Special”. It’s pretty flat, but you can make it flatter still by dodging the Brent Knoll climb ( carry on around the knoll and meet the ride coming back ) and the toll road.
