Like freckles, the sun brought out a goodly number of OGILs for today’s ride, including those known to be allergic to rain. No shorts today, although Dean was cheekily displaying his ankles in a fetching half calf length number. A total of ten of us, including new rider Sam, studying animal behaviour at the Exeter University Penryn campus. Despite talking to him at length, it was not entirely clear whether he was just joining us for a ride or whether […] Read More
The route of the first stage of the 2020 tour, from penzance to Bodmin, via Falmouth, was launched at Bodmin on Monday. This is a great opportunity for the club to promote its self and become involved in this great sporting occasion. Kath will be inviting those who want to get involved to join a working group early in the new year.
The Wheelers tree is now up, thanks to all who contributed and Barbara and her team for decorating it.

The weather forecast threatened lots of rain and strong winds, so naturally WhatsApp was buzzing with messages as everyone tried to avoid being the person to admit it would be mad to go out. Dean resisted rising to the bait of Ian’s schoolboy taunts about him and wind and sensibly maintained radio silence, but others declared their intention to brave the elements. So it was that three of us met at Union Corner and rode up to meet another three […] Read More
Don’t miss the slideshow this Thursday where I hope to bring a bit of summer warmth into our wet and wintery lives!
Ogil ride Wednesday 20th November Yet another damp forecast for our regular Wednesday Ogil ride so it was no surprise that it was just Phil Conroy, Keith and me waiting in vain for others to join us today. Destinations and route options discussed, a shortish trip to Helston Boating Lake was decided. In fact, we had only a light sprinkling of drizzle as we rode to Gweek via Brill and Tolvan Cross, along Gweek Drive and through Trelowarren to the […] Read More
Thanks to Martyn, Margaret and Adrian for yet another evening filled with quizzical looks , thoughtful moments and a lot of fun. Who knew that St.Neot was only 18inches tall??? £35.00 was raised from the raffle and thanks to everyone. Roll on to the next one.
Although the forecast was for some rain, apart from a few early drops the conditions looked benign enough as a select few (three) assembled at Union Corner. When we reached the other place, the few seemed even more select as the place was deserted. Did we have the right day? we wondered. But we were saved by the slow dribble of other riders arriving, busily removing an alarming number of layers in response to the slightly higher temperature than anticipated. […] Read More
