There is lots to do, 9 pin skittle alleys (cost is £12.50 for one alley for 30 minutes for 6-8 people), they also have shooting gallery, pool tables, air hockey, table football, lots of board games and so on. There is a restaurant serving a wide range of starters, salads, steaks, curries, burgers and fish. Have a look on their website “Country Skittles”. Please e mail me […] Read More

The OGIL peloton at Poldhu
It was not forecast to be a fine day, but I decided to brave the elements. With ’you must be mad’ ringing in my ears I left for Union Corner where at least one other mad OGIL, Kiwi Dave, was waiting. On to the other place where only one more OGIL was found, Mawnan Mike. In 3 weeks attendance has gone from 14 to 7 and now 3! At least with only three of us it didn’t take long to […] Read More
It was the day after Piers Morgan stole Amanda’s bike.* It was also mild but damp, and no reason why only 6 Wheelers turned up for the 9 o’clock ride today. Sylvia announced that she had a job list as long as her locks and so would be content with a hours ride, whilst the rest of us considered a route that would get us to Chiverton Cross for the demonstration about lack of cycle transit through the proposed A30 […] Read More
Wednesdays ride was a real pleasure, apart from the gale force wind, and the hail storm that is, but the former quietened down by the time we got to Miss Molly’s and we went through the latter just after Crane garage, so no too bad. However, it was probably the weather forecast that put off some of the regulars; at seven only half of the previous weeks compliment. Kiwi Dave, having a day off from planting out the spring bedding, […] Read More

It was pretty cold and icy on Sunday so I was pretty glad that I had arranged to meet a new rider at HQ at 10 and not at 9. It was around 12 or 13 of us that left HQ for Porthleven with the lovely Hideaway Café as the designated stop. It was so cold that I can’t remember everyone that was with us, though I know there was Caroline and Victor and Sheila and Liz, oh and Sonjia. […] Read More
With a sunny and dry forecast for the day it was no surprise that fourteen Wheelers arrived at the ‘other place’ for a ride to Mullion. Fred, Mike C, Simon, Keith and I were waiting there until a peloton from Falmouth arrived- Phil C, Ian, Richard 2, Kiwi Dave, Kath, Emma, Amanda, Dean and Dave Spargo. Destination agreed… The Crafty Slice at Mullion. Off we went, for the third Wednesday running, down to Gweek, where Admiral left us, along Gweek […] Read More
