Falmouth Wheelers
Apologies for the lateness of this report – the result of no-one volunteering (or being coerced?!) to write one, on the day itself. From now on, an official scribe will be named at the beginning of each Pathfinder – you have been warned! Twenty Wheelers, Nineteen bikes including five electric, met at the layby near Gnome World at Indian Queens, and we set off to cross over the main road and head south, in brilliant sunshine, along a new and […] Read More
but here’s one of mine while you are waiting. Liz told me that she didn’t write ride reports unless something interesting had happened on the ride. Lots happened on last weeks OGIL ride but whether you find it interesting or not I leave to you. True, Kath hadn’t reported in with another of her hilarious excuses, we didn’t have to divert via Crane Garage to meet up with Jan, Simon had gone missing, again, and we were denied the subtle […] Read More

Promises of a mild week brought forth thoughts of Spring and a visit to the Cabin at Perranuthnoe, and a sizeable turn out for the OGIL ride. Even Kath could not resist it. Simon, having now entered the world of technology, had already sent his apologies via the OGIL WhatsApp group but the majority of the regulars turned out, even if a little late. The weather wasn’t exactly as good as promised, bit like Brexit, but we made our way […] Read More
The first pathfinder of 2019 takes off from Toldish just east of Indian Queens at 10am. Meet up in the layby on the opposite side of the road from Gnome World. Arriving by car from the A30, take the Newquay A39 runoff then immediately from the large roundabout, take the exit signed Indian Queens and Gnome World. Turn right onto the old A30 at the mini roundabout – the layby is on your right a few hundred metres further on. […] Read More
Comments have been made about the absence of an OGIL ride report and suggestions made that I couldn’t remember anything about the ride. This is complete tosh, I remember it as if it was only last week. I have been so absorbed by the depth of informed opinion coming out of Parliament this week that I have hardly had chance to do anything else. However, not to disappoint my numerous followers here I go. I had allowed plenty of time […] Read More
A Weekend Away – Pastures New. We’ve been talking about doing a cycling holiday in Devon for a while now. To kick things off Julian and I have decided to cycle up to the quaint village of Idderslsiegh, just north of Okehampton on the 16th of February and to stay the Saturday and Sunday nights at the Duke of York. The cosy pub offers a tasty menu and […] Read More
Watching what’s app was a lesson in excuses today. I didn’t have a runny nose, a wardrobe catastrophe, knees were ok, neck was feeling good, I’d been to the gym the day before, no dog to take to the vet, ironing done, car washed, bored with Brexit, I had absolutely no excuse not to go. So off to Union Corner where I was met by Nigel. Only Paul and Mike were at the other place. A decision was quickly made to […] Read More
I don’t know whether the old dog fox was any more surprised than Phil1 and I, when he casually popped out of the hedge as we made our way to the other place this morning. One look at Phil though and he was off home, probably having had breakfast at Tiffany’s, or was it Bernie’s. Just the two of us at Union Corner, although Ian turned up just after we reached Halvasso turn. And the roll call was as short […] Read More
