Our first group ride of 2021 all be it abiding by the RULE of SIX. Nine riders met at HQ six male and three female. ( I hope that isn’t considered sexist, can’t tell these days.) Anyway the six chaps agreed to go to Marazion and I do not know the destination of the Gals. It was a beautiful day albeit a bit chilly, we headed over to Baripper onto Carnhell green where Dean the elder left us as he […] Read More
With it being the first Sunday ride since lockdown, and with a favourable weather forecast, I expected to see a host of riders queuing up at HQ, and jostling for a place in one of the many rides that would be setting off, in sixes, to various coastal locations. In fact it was gone 9.05, when Dean the younger arrived, that we had a quorum for the one ride and we quickly set off for Marazion, Fred nominally leading from […] Read More
UC OGIL ride Wed 31 March 2021 Hurrah! At last the lockdown restrictions have been eased and the rule of six reintroduced. As soon as it had been announced there was a flurry of WhatsApp activity to book a space on the first OGIL ride. The Union Corner mob consisted of the usual suspects – Dean, Jan, Hot Legs Kath, Phil(1), Sylvia and your correspondent. As we chatted next to the missing telephone box, we were graced with a visit […] Read More
As we can now meet in groups of six we will again be meeting at HQ (Falmouth business Park) at 9.00 a.m. But can I express the need to be cautious and keep to groups of six as we are not out of the woods yet. Robin will be leading the long ride group from the Halvasso weighbridge . Anyone who would like to join that group please contact Robin and he will add you to the long ride WhatsApp […] Read More
We all like to think we ride carefree but not careless but none the less things happen. Nudging the rear lighting cluster of a Jag is probably the least stressful thing to think about but could still leave you out of pocket money for a few weeks. A collision with another cyclist or pedestrian or a claim from a motorist that you caused them to swerve and crash could be a lot more life changing in a negative way. Injuries […] Read More
As we’re now able to cycle in groups of 6 and get back into socialising outside, I have decided to put a halt to our Velovino evenings. Thank you to everyone who popped in for a drink and a catch up over the last year. I’ve really benefitted from it and I’ve learnt lots about you all – More than I ever expected – too much personal information – pants!! See you on the road. Amanda

Once again the March 25th meeting was on Zoom, attended by 13 members. We’re hoping that we’ll all be able to get together in a ‘real’ venue – with a bar! – before too long, but for the next couple of months it has to be virtual. Fred chaired the meeting and reminded us of the good news – we can ride in groups of up to six from March 29th, so the first OGIL rides are on Wednesday 31st […] Read More
Spring is here and the world is starting to open up again. Sportive and Audax events are now taking bookings.

When the AGM closed on Zoom on Thursday evening, (which was attended by 18 members – see the Members Only section to read the minutes), we turned to general discussion after Kath had opened her leaving present of a rose bush in a pot, appropriately named ‘Proper Job’, to thank her for her excellent leadership and hard work over the last three years. Hopefully the rose will thrive in her garden and be covered in red blooms by June! We […] Read More
