We cycled down to Gweek, and then up Gweek Drive where Jo and Richard 1 and Mike left us. (Something about a rugby match was their excuse !!). We cycled on across Goonhilly with a headwind all the way, then took a right turn at Zoar Garage down to Coverack. This was a possible stop, but nothing was open and so we went on to Roskillys arriving there at 11.30. Oh No ! Hot food was not served until 12 […] Read More
The day promised to be dry and sunny! Well mister SUN did pop out occasionally to let us know he was still alive but the cold easterly wind took the edge off the joy of seeing him. I was late arriving at HQ due to the fact that i thought it would be a good idea to put a bit of air in my tyres. Track pump1 pumped up front tyre but didnt like the rear tyre at all, and […] Read More
A cold clear dawn greeted me as i dragged my weary body from its nightly slumbers. I say this because i spent the previous day moving raised vegtable beds in the garden; digging is supposed to be theraputic! So to the ride. As it was near to Phil1’s birthday he offered to buy the coffees so only right he should choose destination and route. The Green Room, St Agnes was his choice so off we went. We were joined today […] Read More
I could have called the ride “Oh What a beautiful Morning” as it certainly was. Is the winter over? However, there was a multitude of riders assembled at HQ, including 6 leccies, and, a choice of three rides. I didn’t do the hard one. Fred, Kiwi Dave, Phil3 and I chose Mullion for starters, with an uneventful and bog standard route. We did cross paths with Red Leader’s group, or at least with outrider Don, but that was about as […] Read More
The meeting was well attended, but apologies were received from Sheila, Paul, KK, Sarah, Richard, Ann, and Barbara. Fred chaired the meeting and reminded us of all the past events over Christmas, and that Dean had been on TV – Spotlight, discussing the new ’20 is Plenty’ speed limit. Fred also asked for nominations for the committee for the AGM next month. Future Events: Simon’s Rides Group met recently and have come up with dates and more information. Pathfinders, all […] Read More

OGIL ride report 4th January 2023 It started out as a normal OGIL Wednesday morning. There were ten of us at ToP, including new recruit Simon (henceforth to be known as Simon2, for obvious reasons) aboard his massive (compared with our road bikes) eMTB. Without any debate that I can remember, our illustrious leader announced our destination as the Helston boating lake, and we set off on a circuitous route to make sure we got the minimum mileage in before […] Read More
