Falmouth Wheelers
There were more Wheelers at HQ than were expected I think. This being due to the clocks springing forward but the weather was perfect and Wheelers never miss out on a good day for getting out on the bike. The destination for the shorter ride group was Roskilly’s after ruling out Perranporth to go and see the Guinness Book of Records Sausage Dog Challenge. They beat the record of 500 sausage dogs and got a new record of 601 dogs. […] Read More

The beauty of spinning is that one just gets on the bike and off you go*. Having not used my road bike for a couple of weeks I thought I would check it over yesterday and give the tyres a bit more air ready for the first ride of spring. This morning the rear tyre was flat. A quick text to a few of the other OGIL to say “let me know where you are going and I’ll catch you […] Read More
It’s sometimes difficult judging quite what our response to weather forecasts should be. Does an amber warning mean us joining the supermarket queues to stock up – for the few hours we might have low temperatures and snow on the ground? Or just carry on as normal. Hope they got it wrong.

Forecast : Grey, South Easterly Gales, Heavy Rain. The previous day had seen the first day of spring, weather wise. 14 degs in the sun, gentle breeze and cyclists wearing shorts.

Hanging around was not an option so on the stroke of about quarter past nine we headed west, Porthleven vaguely the destination. Past Carnkie and on to Porkellis […] Read More

The deadline for consultation responses is on Monday, 12th of March. The Highways England people I have talked to are clear that they need to see good numbers of consultation responses calling for more attention to cycling if they are to improve the scheme in the ways we want. Highways England’s consultation page for this scheme includes a link to the reasonably concise booklet handed out at the consultation events and also clever stuff like a virtual flight above the […] Read More
Sometimes it’s not fun to be right. I had posted on fb that there was a 70% chance that it would rain today, and hence a 30% chance that I would be out on my bike; Won’t rain till 2pm, says Phil1; not till 1pm says the new charwoman. At precisely 8.52am, as Phil and I set out from Union Corner, the first drops were felt, but fortunately only enough to get us wet and it probably hadn’t rained on […] Read More
