Falmouth Wheelers
Another Solo Sunday. With all the sunshine last week I’ve been catching up in the garden – and found myself really enjoying it! Even got to wondering whether I should perhaps join a different club? Maybe a gardening club? However, last thing on Saturday evening I ended up routinely sorting out my bike and bits for the Sunday ride just as normal. Old habits die hard! The sun was shining and it enticed me out for an early start – […] Read More
There may be no Audax, no pub rides, no club meetings, no OGILs or Sunday groups, but Wheelers can’t do without bikes, beer and banter. Here’s a list of activities ongoing this month – please send in your updates and ride reports. Sunday rides – will take place solo or on tandem (live-in partners only) with members riding short or not-the-long rides within their individual physical, mechanical and navigational capability. Some are sticking to tried and tested routes, while others […] Read More
It’s Wednesday, so it must be OGIL. Except that in these strange times we have to go OGILing alone, which isn’t quite the same. Unlike some people, I am quite comfortable with my own company, but riding with others has a different quality to it than riding solo (and I don’t just mean the ability to draft!). Still, one must, so I set off on an undemanding trip up to Portreath. Unable to shake the habit of a year, off […] Read More
The six of us arrived at Plymouth in wet and miserable evening, it was the same when we came back on Sunday morning. The crossing was a bit rock and roll but we arrived in Roscoff to a grey but dry morning. We took the normal route through St Pol and on to Penze, where the tide was in, normally we just see the mud, like Truro. On into Morlaix where we had our only rain of the day as […] Read More

Le Grande Sa Copotatos – but sadly no more social climbing! How our worlds have shrunk! However, providing that the great dictator Boris doesn’t close us down completely, we can still ride our bikes. But it has to be alone! That is unless you live with someone who can keep up with you – or you ride a tandem like Margaret and Martyn. I think that everyone would agree that it is hugely important to limit the pressure we put […] Read More
I had decided to ride on my own today with the hope that a fellow Wheeler just might be riding out at the same time. Unfortunately I must have missed Colin as I also turned up at the usual time and place. As it was a glorious day I hade already decided on Poldhu. Made my way out to Gweek and up to Garras. Not wanting to be too late back I gave Trelowarren a miss and headed up […] Read More
Welcome to the March Falmouth Wheelers meeting. Well, what a strange, bizarre and concerning situation we find ourselves in. When at the last meeting, the AGM, I said in the Chairpersons report that we are entering an exciting year for cycling this was certainly not what I had in mind. None of us could have dreamt of this, well maybe one or two may have done but that’s another story and probably beer fuelled. This is the bit where I […] Read More
Admittedly, I was slightly late arriving at Union Corner, but nobody was there so I carried on to the other place at speed, arriving more or less at the usual time. Again, no one. Oh well, looks like a solo ride today. The sun is shining, the roads are dry and there is virtually no traffic, so a trip to Porthleven didn’t seem like a bad idea. I followed the usual route through Carnkie, Porkellis and Nancegollan but then took […] Read More
I shall be putting the ‘Meeting’ on the Website at around about 8.00pm on Thursday just to keep everything as normal. Don’t forget to get your drinks in first. Does anyone have Any Other Business that they would like to bring up at the meeting please.
