Wheelers are renowned for their sense of direction…..pull the other one! It’s got bells on! Things started well last night at the Crown in Goldsithney. The landlady warmly offered us the tasty sandwiches sitting on the bar. They needed eating up after the wake for the oldest lady resident of the village who had died aged 102. As eleven of us set off several riders had entered into the festive spirit festooning their machines with tinsel and sparkling lights and […] Read More

After a month of mud and soggy longs on wet saddles, at last the sun came out and the skies were blue again. The OGILs were chattering away on WhatsApp that it was Colin’s birthday so with the prospect of a nice day and some free coffees there was a good turnout at The Other Place. 12 in fact. Dean the Younger had already set off up Halvasso. Did he think the OGILs would not be riding far enough today? […] Read More
Sunday 27th Nov. the weather was dry but overcast and a good few turned up at HQ. After the initial mingling and chat about who, what and where we divided up into several groups and sub groups. I joined in with those going to the Milk Bar at Mullion along with Amanda, Phil4, Ian, Golf Club Trevor and Ben. As some of us had been out that way on the last OGIL ride it was decided to reverse our […] Read More

OGIL ride report 9th November 2022 When I commented on my lacklustre performance riding to the café, my legs feeling leaden and energy levels low, our illustrious leader gave his diagnosis as Report Deficiency Syndrome. I was already feeling guilty about not writing reports for the last two Wednesday rides I had been out on, and this comment cut me to the quick. But I have to say it did the trick, and herewith is my summary of the events […] Read More
