Falmouth Wheelers
It’s sometimes difficult judging quite what our response to weather forecasts should be. Does an amber warning mean us joining the supermarket queues to stock up – for the few hours we might have low temperatures and snow on the ground? Or just carry on as normal. Hope they got it wrong. I was pleased to see that six others turned up at HQ. It was cold – I think we all agreed on that – but amazingly sunny too. […] Read More
Forecast : Grey, South Easterly Gales, Heavy Rain. The previous day had seen the first day of spring, weather wise. 14 degs in the sun, gentle breeze and cyclists wearing shorts. But that was yesterday! Today it was horrible, so much so that only two Wheelers ventured forth, Chicago Mike and Paul. Hanging around was not an option so on the stroke of about quarter past nine we headed west, Porthleven vaguely the destination. Past Carnkie and on to Porkellis […] Read More

At precisely 8.52am, as Phil and I set out from Union Corner, the first drops were felt, but fortunately only enough to get us wet and it probably hadn’t rained on […] Read More
The Minutes from the AGM and the Monthly meeting are in the members area. To view them log in to the Message Board and go to the members only area.
Please note: the next FWs meeting will be on Thursday March 22nd at Wood Lane, because the last Thursday of the month takes us too close to Easter, and with the club Audax on April 8th, we need more time to organise food donations etc. Please remind other members of this one-off change of date! Liz
No one was terribly keen to go to St Ives today. It was the thought of riding back into a biting easterly wind that put us off. It didn’t take long to decide on Perranporth as a good alternative, it is similar, it is by the sea. Fred, Helston Trevor, Robin, Phil4. Devon Jim, Amanda, Simon, Raymond, Sam and Phil1 were the team this week. If last week was a P day then this week was going to be the […] Read More
