Falmouth Wheelers
With a sunny and dry forecast for the day it was no surprise that fourteen Wheelers arrived at the ‘other place’ for a ride to Mullion. Fred, Mike C, Simon, Keith and I were waiting there until a peloton from Falmouth arrived- Phil C, Ian, Richard 2, Kiwi Dave, Kath, Emma, Amanda, Dean and Dave Spargo. Destination agreed… The Crafty Slice at Mullion. Off we went, for the third Wednesday running, down to Gweek, where Admiral left us, along Gweek […] Read More

Not put off by fallen branches blocking the road and the prospect of a bit of light cranial damage, 6 stalwart Wheelers met up and after a brief deliberation set off for Helston boating lake via Tre-lowarren and Cury, Phil C on point, followed by Phil S, Mike, Keith, Dave and Paul. Conversation was light and the concentration heavy, nothing to do with the company but all down to the 50 mph winds. All credit to those pros in the […] Read More
After cycling over to Goldsithney under a threatening sky with the weather forecast predicting horrific high winds and torrential rains of biblical proportions, I expected to be the only idiot who thought it would be a good idea venture out on such a night and turn up for this our seventh annual pilgrimage to see the harbour lights at Mousehole. While sitting at the Crown Inn with a glass of overpriced ale in hand I was secretly hopeful that no […] Read More
Lots of opportunity to go out on a bike this week so I was not too surprised about the low turnout for this morning’s OGIL ride, the last of the year. Phil1 and Kiwi Dave at Union Corner and Keith and Phil3 at Halvasso turn. Trevor was there too but was heading north, whilst we had our sights set on Helston boating lake. It was a cold morning, made colder by the strong headwind and regular hail showers, which stung […] Read More
This year boxing day was on the 26th of December which coincided with a Tuesday. This being such a good turn out for a festive ride was envisaged, however this was not the case o.k. it was wetish o.k. it was windyish and well maybe a trifle on the cold side but hey it is December. Well David Spargo, Robin and yours truly waited for a while thinking perhaps the others had over slept but alas no-one else turned up […] Read More
Riders, Dean, Mike2, Sylvia, Fred, Richard, Paul, Phil S, Victor, Caroline. Long riders, Amanda, Ian, Ben, Robin, Jim. After a brief chat about the shade of Phils tan and whether it was all over or just spray on Strictly Style Tan, the talk changed to possible destinations for todays ride. The long ride was going to Portreath. So was the intermediate ride. On different routes. Not a very good turn out for either ride, only 5 on the “long” and […] Read More
I think we were all grateful for the 10 o’clock start today giving us a little more time to get sorted.I was the first to HQ at ten to with Sonjia, Paula,Sheila,Liz and Jo all turning up within a few minutes. Paula gave a shout of Porthleven which we all gave the thumbs up to with Helston Boating lake being the bale out café if the weather turned. We headed towards Gweek but just before Treverva Sonjia and Sheila decided […] Read More
