Interesting article - What's in a name. A territory familiar to me and near to where I used to live and cycle. Trewherry, Tregustick, Nanswhyden, Trerice, Rialton, Talskiddy and others - you may not know or recall, but I am sure Wheelers have been through these at some time since I have been riding with the club.

A bit of trivia. On the return from Sunday's ride (my part of it) I thought I would recheck the so-called "4-mile hill" - have I got nothing better to do you may say! Starting at the very bottom where the road crosses the stream - after about half a mile there is a very slight dip (enough to freewheel for a few yards), then the 'climb' continues until 2,7 miles when it definitely goes downhill. So, "4-mile hill is pure fiction! Does anyone else have any other local myths they wish to dispel? R753

The Irish Recce. Our apologies for the lack of a report and any photos covering the four days we spent in the Wicklow Mountains - but good news! I’m hoping to give a short presentation with the help of the club projector at this weeks meeting. Don’t miss it. Trip planned for September next year.

Sorry to be difficult, but I will not be doing the Pathfinder this month - so if anyone wants to fill this slot, please feel free to do so. My planned one will now be submitted for 2020 - probably/hopefully in April or thereabouts.. R753

40 riders have entered the 500k Audax that leaves Pendennis Castle at 9.00am tomorrow morning (Saturday). I am hoping to go and wave them off. I'm working In Penzance from 8 so won't be able to ride with them or go for breakfast but am happy to see them on their way.

Apologies to Robin for my absence yesterdays Pathfinder . I unfortunately failed to read the message board and arrived at the usual meeting point only to discover that no one would arrive. I left Falmouth to attempt to find you all but was unable to do so.

If you are able to join us on the 22nd for the Pathfinder and still have’nt put your order in for lunch I would be grateful if you could do that today as it will make things a whole lot easier for the pub on what is already a busy day for them. The menu is on the website.
For any of those on the French trip who are still not sure they’ll make it we can phone those orders through on the Sunday morning. ☀️Robin

What is it about the Cornish and weather? I have already heard "my dear 'tis freezun" - and that was in August! R753

Perhaps you should tell the weather gods Richard, it certainly feels like Autumn not Summer outside.

It is not Autumn until the 21st September! I know it is supposed to be 'Meteorological' Autumn on the 1st September; but ignore those clowns at the Met Office - they can rarely forecast the weather correctly, and that is what they are paid a heck of a lot to do! R753

22nd September Pathfinder.
The lunch menu is now on the website and I will need to know what you are eating before next Wednesday as Gill and I are heading to France for a week and the pub needs the order well in advance.
(I'm afraid the cooked breakfast is not on the Sunday menu - I jumped the gun with that so, Fred and Richard, you will have to re order!)
Hoping you can all make it. Robin
