Falmouth Wheelers
After receiving WhatsApp OGIL messages from Dean, Phil 1, Fred and Kath to say they weren’t riding today, I feared I might be on my own! So I was pleased to see Mike waiting at the other place and soon Keith arrived- we were three, just like last week, with Mike instead of Fred.A quick decision was made to go to Smokey Joe’s and we were off. It was a tad windy…. gusts of 40 to 60 mph apparently but […] Read More
A rousing cheer and enthusiastic clapping greeted Robin as he arrived at HQ after his recent record breaking attempt at the Newport Velodrome. After we settled down the assembled group split in two with one going to Marazion and the other to Roskilly’s. I joined the Fast Boys for a great ride to the Chapel Rock Cafe overlooking St Michael’s Mount. With wet roads but no rain the twelve of us- Robin, Ian, Danny, Phils 2 and 4, Amanda, Fred, […] Read More

Not quite a Poldhu day, with the wind blowing off the sea, but as near as damn it. Perranuthnoe seemed a good alternative, as it can usually accommodate the OGIL, though we need to be there before 11 when the breakfast menu finishes. Just Phil1, myself and new rider, Pete, at Union Corner but a goodly collection spilling out into the junction at the other place, discussing Mike2’s new Gore-tex jacket. My social influencing wasn’t working. Kath’s absence was noted; […] Read More

It was a bit lonely standing at Union Corner. I’m not often first there and today it looked like I would be the only one. But Phil1 arrived shortly before the appointed time, as did the rain. This was more than the two raindrops suggested by Mystic Meg. Now, it appears that since I began my new career as Social Influencer, promoting items available from Evans Cycles, the profitability of said Company appears to have taken a nose-dive and it […] Read More
A wintery weather forecast is enough to sort the men from the boys and girls. In my Night Vision jacket, also available in blue, I was, at times, too hot. The traffic was queuing back as far as the Church Field so I only just managed to get to Union Corner by 8.50am. Adrian and Phil1 were already there and as soon as Ian arrived we were glad to get moving. A good manly turn out at the other place […] Read More
We’re talking ‘Marginal gains’ here, but its the difference that makes a difference. Last week Robin attended the Boardman Performance Centre to explore their Aerodynamics services; wind tunnel to you and me. The Chris Boardman Performance Centre (for old codgers?) Gill’s ears don’t exactly prick up when I mention aerodynamic drag – but at least she doesn’t roll her eyes. I tell her that I’m thinking of going to the Chris Boardman wind tunnel in Evesham to be aero tested by […] Read More
