Although Martyn confessed to have not ridden for a “few weeks” his presence, in combination with Paul, Phil1 and Adrian, still resulted in a chase across to the other place. It took a “Lady” to be a “Gentleman”, in the form of Kath, to wait for me to catch up at the fruit wholesaler turn. Arriving at Halvasso Parkway after the others I therefore expected a decision as to today’s destination to be done. With a cold and strong South […] Read More
The proposed ride to “Iddesleigh” was always going to be eventful and so it was. Robin and Julian had done the ride last year and had been joined by Don and Sue Morris; so this year they were to be joined by Steve Pond and yours truly riding up, then to be joined for a ride on Sunday by Kath and Clive. I decided that it would probably be to much for me to ride all the way so arranged […] Read More
Today’s destination was decided before anyone left home by Kath. It was to be the Hub at Portreath as it was under new management and therefore the experience should be much better than before. I joined Kath and Dean at the missing phone box and then Keith, Fred, Simon and Phil 3 at the other place. As there was no need for a discussion over our destination we could leave promptly but we didn’t as Phil had a problem with […] Read More

As discussed at the last meeting Jan would like to offer a taster Pilates session on Tuesday 18th Feb at Woodlane Social Club in the room downstairs at 6.30 p.m. She need numbers though and we had lots of hands go up at the meeting showing interest. If you would like to attend let me or Jan know. I will be at the Film Night tonight and will ask all who attend who would like to go. Use either email […] Read More
Let’s start with Happy Birthday Ian, he really doesn’t look his age, no, he really doesn’t! Colin was struck down with the lurgy and Dean was making a contraption out of copper pipe so that left what we thought was just Phil C and myself at the missing phone box but just in time Ian flew round the roundabout and off we headed to the other place. Keith, Fred and Simon were the only ones there but then Phil’s phone […] Read More
Don’t forget film night this Thursday 13th February at Woodlane Social Club. 7 30 for 8. Bring your own Popcorn, Sweets etc. The film is ‘A Girl, A Boy and a Bike’ with Honor Blackman and Doris Day.
A fine day beckoned, dry with little or no wind, so ideal conditions, if a little cold, for a bike ride. Only seven of us, Keith, Paul, Simon, Ian, Dean, Adrian and me, gathered at the Other Place today and there were no dissenters when Poldhu was suggested as our destination. Ian, our leader of choice, lead us on our usual route to Gweek with a quick detour- left at Trewardreva Cross and Constantine School, then another at Brill so […] Read More
Following last years successful weekend in Devon we’ve decided to return – if not just for the warmth and hospitality offered by the famous “Duke of York” pub in Iddesleigh, situated between Hatherleigh and Winkleigh north of Okehampton. You can be adventurous and cycle there ( about 85/90 miles ) or simply drive up there with your bikes. The pub offers a “winter deal” of two nights B&B for just £120, two people sharing (£30 pppn). We will have our […] Read More
