Welcome to the WOGCC, Weston Old Gits' Cycle Club

A cycle club for retired and refined gentlemen,
who indulge, weekly, in gentle exercise and deep and meaningful discussion
(translated by one member, uncharitably, as 'talk utter crap').

The most recent ride Tue 14th Jan 2025, 09:00 :

  • Turnout: 8: The usual suspects.
  • Route: Revised Original Route
    Cuppa:The Bridge Inn, Yatton
  • Weather - forecast: Cloudy with a moderate S / SW wind, mainly dry. Temperature rising from 6c to 9c
  • Weather - actual: Pretty much as forecast with a short burst of sunshine
  • Riding conditions: Good dry roads and not too busy out through St George to The Bridge, Yatton. Return along the Strawberry line to Sandford, dropping Arnie at Yatton Station, was dry and relatively quiet even through Banwell.
  • Incident of the day! Our condolences to Geoff following the sudden passing of his wife Diane last week. We look forward to riding with you again, when you are ready to join us. A good stop at The Bridge with varied conversations. We hope Arnie’s marmalade decides to set after its second boiling!!
    UPDATE: After second boiling said marmalade is setting like concrete.Might be bring orange toffee next Tuesday! A
