Falmouth Wheelers
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

Twelve hearty souls gathered at the two OGIL start points, engaging in the usual pre-ride discussions—wind conditions, past rides, hearing aids, shorts-or-no-shorts, blah, blah…. Eventually we decided to head into the wind and make our way to the Café in the Park at Boscawen Park, Truro. Before the ride started Phil S admitted to a “senior moment”—he’d forgotten to charge his battery. Opting for a shorter ride, he made his way to Via Ferrata for a coffee and later met […] Read More
Mother’s Day, clock changes and a niggly north westerly wind appeared to have an impact on numbers and only seven Wheelers reported to the start line for this Sunday’s ride.Marazion was agreed as the destination and we set off in one group for a route that planned to go via Halvasso, Penmarth, Troon, Carnhell Green, St Erth route to Marazion. There was considerable difference in attire, with some convinced it was summer, others autumn and the remainder refusing to believe […] Read More
