Things felt a little more like the old days on Sunday. For a start, there were more than just a handful of riders at HQ – and seeing Richard Mace and Phil Eagles there helped reinforce this impression. Ian was happy to bark a few orders and quickly organise the gathered wheelers into two groups with the plan to head to the same cafe, Wheal Coates at St Agnes. We’d just have to see whether chaos ensued. I led the […] Read More
Don’t forget it’s the Club BBQ this Friday 18th July on Swanpool beach 🏖️ from 17:30 onwards.

The chain break did trigger a fall but happily the only casualty was Martyn’s banana (collateral damage?). […] Read More
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
