It was a cold clear morning with a brisk easterly breeze. Two groups formed at HQ; Trevor’s group heading for Porthleven the other to Portreath. The usual OGIL route was followed to Carmenellis, Baripper, Coombe, then a push into head winds along north cliffs. The Alantic cafe was bulging at the seams – why I don’t know; a long wait ensued – 2 hours in fact. Oh well it was warm. Robin and Ben left before the rest of us, […] Read More

Twenty five members attended the meeting and apologies were received from Denise, Danny Daniels, Colin, Adrian Mitchell, Teresa, Paul, Ian and Sylvia.  Approval of the minutes of last year’s meeting were proposed by Simon and seconded by Dean. Fred gave the Chairman’s report, thanking everyone for a very successful year, which included three Pathfinders, the Audax ’22, trips to the Picos, Mallorca and the Cotswolds, Robin’s LEL, Don, Denise and Sonjia’s JOGLE, Richard’s quiz, some interesting talks at our monthly […] Read More

Ride report 19th February 2023 It was the perfect plan. Give the Wednesday OGIL rides a miss, and my role as official report scribe can be avoided. However, I had not reckoned with our wily Chairman, who collared me on Sunday and insisted that I write a report for that day instead. Oh well, here goes then. A veritable multitude of riders assembled at HQ, presumably coaxed out of hibernation by the promise of a still, dry day for a […] Read More

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

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
