Falmouth Wheelers
After a half decent day it was disappointing to see the rain come in around 5. I was reminded of another pub ride to the Stag Hunt in the rain last year – that I completed on my lonesome and had to phone Richard to get any company at all. So big surprise to see a large gathering at HQ. Jim M, Chris, Richard, Neil, Trevor and around ten past six, Ian. Richard went the direct route to order the […] Read More
It’s a simple route to the Bluebell nursery café near Praze, but Ian was leading. And leading he was; setting a cracking pace for an OGIL ride. He had been last arriving at Union Corner so was determined not to be last at any other point on what was an excellent ride out. Not enough potholes for Trevor, who appeared to have borrowed a pedal powered tank from the Water-ma-trout Business Park at Helston, and took advantage of trying out […] Read More

I have been a bit of a wuss lately, avoiding the rain and snow in favour of a spin class, or two. With Mystic Meg suggesting only three spots of rain at 9 o’clock and another one at 11, and with a blue sky to the Northwest, I felt it was time to make amends. Kath had already posted that she would not be out* so I was feeling pretty smug when, at 8.50 there were no other Wheelers at […] Read More
First pub ride of the year we headed to Mawnan Smith. 8 riders on 8 bikes. Liz, Amanda, Trevor, Robin, Richard 80, Ian, Neil and myself. As the pub was so far away the most direct route we decided was the way to go. Left turn out of HQ down to Maenporth, up the other side then to our amazement we were there. Beer was drunk, rubbish was talked and micky was taken.
You might have noticed that the website is now live on www.falmouthwheelers.co.uk Horray! Also there is now a “Shout Box” on the right of the screen underneath the “Headline News” this is an instant messenger system. You need to be logged in to use it but its there. 😀
There were more Wheelers at HQ than were expected I think. This being due to the clocks springing forward but the weather was perfect and Wheelers never miss out on a good day for getting out on the bike. The destination for the shorter ride group was Roskilly’s after ruling out Perranporth to go and see the Guinness Book of Records Sausage Dog Challenge. They beat the record of 500 sausage dogs and got a new record of 601 dogs. […] Read More

The date of the Velodrome trip has been fixed for Sunday May 13th, and the Pathfinder led by Ian will be on May 20th.
The beauty of spinning is that one just gets on the bike and off you go*. Having not used my road bike for a couple of weeks I thought I would check it over yesterday and give the tyres a bit more air ready for the first ride of spring. This morning the rear tyre was flat. A quick text to a few of the other OGIL to say “let me know where you are going and I’ll catch you […] Read More
