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 19th Nov 2024, 09:00 :

  • Turnout: 6: A ***tet of the Usual Suspects.(No Sex, please, we're British!)
  • Route: MODIFIED Original Route, via Pier to Pier Way and Strawberry Line link.
    Cuppa: Yatton
  • Weather - forecast: Light rain and a gentle NNE breeze. Rain expected to cease at 11.00hrs. Highs of 5°c
  • Weather - actual: Everything! Wind, rain, snow and sun.
  • Riding conditions: Very inhospitable. Temp felt like minus °C, wind was strong and the rain barely let off until most riders were nearly home.
    Oh yes, first downfall of snow this winter although the sun did try to 'peek' out on the return leg.
    Needless to say, the roads were very wet!
  • Incident of the day! One Old Git returned home shortly after the start.(maybe the wearing of summer attire was a contributing factor).
    The scheduled modified route was modified yet again to 'the shortest possible route', which encapsulated hot drinks and warmth at Puxton Park.
Quote of the day: "Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.": Helen Keller - Deaf and blind political activist. 1880 -1968
