Falmouth Wheelers
No one was terribly keen to go to St Ives today. It was the thought of riding back into a biting easterly wind that put us off. It didn’t take long to decide on Perranporth as a good alternative, it is similar, it is by the sea. Fred, Helston Trevor, Robin, Phil4. Devon Jim, Amanda, Simon, Raymond, Sam and Phil1 were the team this week. If last week was a P day then this week was going to be the […] Read More
Thirteen brave members met at Trekenning car park in St Column to take part in this month’s Pathfinder. Helston Trevor, Robin, Chris and Phil 1 cycled from home joined by Phil 3 at Ladock and with Bernie back from down under was Ian, Liz, Trevor 1 and the electric Ladies Karen, Barbara, Denise and yours truly set off in a roughly easterly direction. There was quite a bit of low lying cloud about (mizzle) and immediately we had our first […] Read More
Highways England are currently consulting on the proposed new dual carriageway upgrade to the the A30 and the Truro Cycling Campaign Group are concerned that a golden opportunity to cater for cyclists who want to travel directly and safely to Truro (and beyond) is being overlooked in the draft plans. Here is an extract from a message received from a leading TCC member calling on all interested parties to respond to this important element of the plan “Truro Cycling Campaign […] Read More
The forecast was as reliable as ever with suggestion of freezing temperatures, hail, snow, sleet and of course strong winds so it was a poor turn at H.Q. The Lizard was to be our destination so immediately Dean announced he was off to Helston boating lake to feed the ducks! The R.S.P.B. would be proud of him. So that left six intrepid or is it insipid riders to make their way. At Brill we were met by Trevor who had […] Read More

Following our request for different ride destinations Robin has suggested Majorca, to this end he is leading a recce trip with the intention of a Wheelers trip next year. Also on the trip are Amanda, John and Phil4, if they decide to come back from the sunshine we will have a report on cycling on the island. The picture is the villa they are staying at.
I woke up to a rare view of the Cornish countryside covered in a sprinkling of snow. Would any intrepid OGILs venture out on such an icy day? Phil S. called to say that if the roads cleared, we would meet at Halvasso Crossing at 10:30 instead of at 9:10. Dean answered by text in three words: “I think not!”, which I interpreted to mean “maybe”. At 10:00 Phil called again to say he would give it a miss. Not […] Read More
Marizion was on the club calendar so we had no destination to discus or think about on leaving HQ. (although they still left late. Assistant Ed). The team consisted of Amanda, Ian, Phil 4, Robin, Danny, Fred, Devon Jim, newbie Sam, Ben and Phil 1. A straight forward route was to taken out through Porklellis, Nancegollan, and Godolphin Cross, where we all took the correct direction. It was a good ride down with the wind behind us and on reaching Marizion […] Read More
