Falmouth Wheelers
Looking forward to seeing you all this coming Sunday for a magnificent tour of the Roseland. A staggering amount of work has gone into making sure that all runs smoothly and we now have a hotline with every farmer on the peninsula which should insure all the roads we use are cleaned prior to our arrival. An idea of numbers for those who wish to sample the culinary delights of “The Cornish Italian” would be appreciated. All in all this […] Read More
I’d been duped into dressing for spring after looking at my Met Office app 🌤️☀️☀️ – so was a little peeved when I had to stop in Penryn to put my gilet on! By HQ the heavy mizzle became rain ☁️🌨️💦. Only Trevor and Don were there on my arrival and we happily grumbled about the weather and the accuracy of weather apps. Why bother? Just dress for the worst ☀️🌧️💦💨❄️ Gradually numbers swelled and soon […] Read More

OGIL ride Wednesday 28th February 2024 A dedicated group of us assembled at Union Corner hoping that the weather forecast would turn out to be on the pessimistic side, but a persistent mizzle was already in the air, and the sky looked an unpleasant shade of grey. It was decided to see how it went, and we set off to The Other Place where a small crowd was huddling in the lee of the trees. As is now the way, […] Read More

I started swimming in the sea this winter. The cold water shock helps ease the pain in my joints. It’s good for our mental well-being too or so I’m told. I have to admit to wearing a thin sleeveless “shorty” otherwise I just wouldn’t cope – but I’m told there are plenty of hardy women in the club who dip daily in just their swimsuits! 💪🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️ I’ve started distance swimming too and have bought a swim wetsuit. The experience couldn’t […] Read More

For the first time in ages, the Sunday gathering at HQ turned into a ‘whole group ride’ which was a great success and good fun. Instigated by Robin, 14 Wheelers set off from Falmouth, heading for Roskillys, joined later by Fred, making a total of 15. Keeping big gaps for safety and to allow any traffic to pass more easily, we headed to Gweek via the usual route. The promised showers never came to anything and it was much warmer […] Read More
Wot, no ice, no rain, no wind? Temperature well above freezing? Is it Spring already? Clearly I wasn’t the only one with these questions in mind as a reasonable crowd assembled at Union Corner. Everyone was in a cheerful mood as they looked forward to a ride that seemed unlikely to result in a drenching and a freezing. The numbers swelled even more when we reached The Other Place to a heady nine. Included was Mike, sporting immaculate black and […] Read More
