Falmouth Wheelers
In spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. OGIL turn to thoughts of Poldhu. The mere suggestion was enough to bring out one of the largest number of OGIL in one place since the Edinburgh Wool Shop closing down sale. Seven at Union Corner, including last Sunday’s new rider, Martyn, plus Mat Charman out with a couple of his buddies and who accompanied us as far as the other place before going off to do their […] Read More
With a goodly group away in France I was not expecting many to be at H.Q. but I was surprised, must have been the weather and what a glorious day it was. Six of us set out for Newquay and I think about seven set off for Porthleven. In our group of six we had two new, hopefully to become, members names of Martyn and Hutch who were not sure what they were letting themselves in for but they proved […] Read More
Please can we have any charity nominations in time for the next meeting which is this Thursday. For those not at the last meeting, we are naming 3 local charities for the coming year and all money raised will be split between these charities equally. There is an area on the website for nominations or alternatively let either myself, Liz, Sonjia or Fred know.
Excuses for not riding on Ian’s pathfinder at the weekend abounded at Union Corner this morning but it was time for the off before I had to make mine. And it wasn’t the reason why I lagged behind the rest on the way over to the other place. 4 of us had left Falmouth and double that number was assembled on the turn when I arrived. Jan is off skiing so this was our full compliment. St Agnes was suggested […] Read More
I awoke bright and early on Sunday, looked out if the window and it wasn’t raining! “Bugger” I thought “no excuse not to go out” so I set o off at exactly 7.33am to meet the others at crane garage. Unfortunately for me I have barely ridden a bike in the 5 months since Dave’s Pathfinder to Dutchy Nursery so 27 minutes proved too little time to rendezvous with thee others. So a quick pause just before Halvasso turn to […] Read More
Trump may have had problems dealing with Stormy Daniels but Storm Gareth was no match to the 9 OGIL who set out this morning for a short ride to Helston boating lake. Traffic Light Lane only adds 4 minutes to the ride to Union Corner but enough to mean that I only just arrived in time for the Grande Depart. Time and OGIL wait for no man. In this case it was just Adrian and Nigel who lead off to […] Read More
It was wild and windy but I expected to see more than the other five who turned up at HQ on Sunday morning. We had no rain and the wind was never really a problem. It was even sunny as you can see from the photo. Robin led us down to Commercial road and soon we split with Ian (single speed) and Teresa carrying on while Philby, Dave (just returned from a month in NZ) and I followed Robin up […] Read More
Meet at Longrock Industrial Estate TR20 8HX for 10.00am start. 30 mile loop heading towards Mousehole and then inland to a lunch stop at St Just. Also a coffee stop on route. Ian
At 7.23am I was woken by Mother Nature in all her glory. Even Max (Headwind) was trying to lift the roof off to get inside, out of the rain. Mystic Meg still suggested a showery morning and a dry spell starting around 9. By the time I had got back from the loo the WhatsAp group was busy with excuses. Simon had made the mistake of looking out of the window rather than relying on technology and others had thought […] Read More
