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 18th Feb 2025, 09:00 :

  •  Turnout: 9: The usual suspects.
  •  Route: Original Route (modified)  Cuppa:Bridge Inn, Yatton
  •  Weather - forecast: Cold, sunny and dry day with temperature rising from 2c to 8c but feeling colder in a chilly easterly breeze.
  •  Weather - actual: Very much as forecast.
  •  Riding conditions: Mainly dry roads which were relatively quiet due to half term holidays. Strawberry line was still muddy in places.
  •  Incident of the day!  Nothing major to report other than the occasional ignorant and impatient drive but then we are used to those.
