Clocks Back a whole hour to lay in bed trouble is the body doesn’t understand and still wakes crack of dawn! Oh well hey ho. I had a speedy ride in to HQ wind up my backside “speedy that is for me but not some others I am sure”. We totalled eleven which considering weather was pretty good, Aroute to Perranporth via Idless seemed a good enough suggestion as we would have a degree of protection from the wind. After […] Read More

It was raining when I arrived at HQ, with the resultant low turn out, but Sarah, with her vast experience of Cornish weather declared that it would be “clear by 10”, and she was bloody well right! But for the start it was mizzling and a bit more. After admiring Kiwi Dave’s new bike, nice colour, just one ride, of eleven, set off with a destination of Porthleven, Ian, for once, taking the lead. According to Amanda the road through […] Read More
WhatsApp carried more excuses than a Tory spokesperson this morning. Kath, Phil3, Colin, Sarah, Damien, Jan, all had something better to do; in Jan’s case it was recovering from an evening with Cliff but for the others I think the weather forecast had something to do with their decision. But it was a fine morning when the sexy six left Union Corner; Phil1, Paul, Ironman, Amanda, Ian and myself, and still fine and dry when six became eight at the […] Read More
October’s Pathfinder It was over a year ago whilst at Poldhu on a OGIL ride that Fred sprung his cunning plan on me. He had volunteered to run the Pathfinder for, I think, October. The route was planned but Fred had decided to go on a trip in his van instead. So, I was asked to take control and run the ride. Unfortunately, we went into another lockdown!Twelve months later and its time to dig out and dust off the […] Read More
OGIL ride report 13th October 2021 By the time we got to The Other Place, we were a dozen strong. This was despite some notable absences. No sign of Kath, nor of the two Steves (new Steve and Steve Heavyhand), and has anyone seen John since the Wales trip (maybe he’s still there??). Still, not a bad contingent for a Wednesday – presumably everyone had been tempted out by the weather – sunny and hardly a breath of wind. It […] Read More
The Long Ride recently has not been functioning at it’s best due to our reliance on Robin organizing the ride. Now he’s recovered from his surgery, he and the ride is back up and running. He seems to be riding as strong as ever and as I’m writing this report he is having a session in the velodrome at Newport! Does this mean another attack on the hour record next year? We shall see! Saturday afternoon and the long ride […] Read More
