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 15th Oct 2024, 09:00 :

  • Turnout: 10: A very reasonable turnout.
  • Route: Reverse Route
    Cuppa: Puxton Park or Winscombe
  • Weather - forecast: Grey cloudy day with early drizzle and a light SE breeze. Temperatures starting at around 11-12c rising to 16c by early afternoon.
  • Weather - actual: As forecast
  • Riding conditions: Roads were wet after overnight rain however traffic was unusually light once the morning rush had passed.
  • Incident of the day! No material incidents to report other than three riders appearing in shorts insisting shorts should be worn if starting temperature is in excess of 10c. It was debated whether this is before or after wind chill is taken into account. The group split at Hewish with four heading to Winscombe and the remainder Puxton Park. The usual array of topical issues were discussed particularly how cyclists can stay safe while riding.
Quote of the day: "Like dogs, bicycles are social catalysts that attract a superior category of people. ": Chip Brown -
