Falmouth Wheelers
Seven Wheelers responded to Robin’s suggestion of Roskilly’s for a destination on Sunday. Described as “a route on new or less ridden roads, 20 miles with 1,500 feet of climbing at about 11-12 mph”, I looked for the hidden agenda otherwise known as “hills” between the lines. It sounded all right. Not having been able to ride so much this year a rare outing on a Sunday club ride would do me good. So I made it eight when we […] Read More

As there isn’t an after meeting speaker this month so after the short EGM we’ll take the opportunity to discuss how we might shape and move the club forward. So please come along and share your thoughts which might include events, cycling and social, charity fundraising activities, after meeting speakers or anything else you feel could benefit the club. See you there!
The weather more than made up for the previous week…
We planned to ride the Wolf Way after seeing an article in the Cycling Uk magazine last year – I come from Suffolk so I wanted to go back home and re-visit all the old haunts from my childhood and we had my niece’s wedding to go to on the 18th of April too. It’s a 270 mile route which took us 6 days to complete with a total ascent of 7852 feet so easy cycling compared to Cornwall! We […] Read More

Today’s OGIL built slowly from four riders at Union Corner, to six by the top of Halvasso. The slightly chilly North Westerly wind determined a destination on the North coast and Portreath quickly became the favoured option. The 50/50 split of conventional and sparkies was handled well and as a group we rode steadily through Rame, Penmarth and Nine Maidens as we made our way to Barripper. The usual amount of on road banter was added to at the regular […] Read More
