Our club audax series concluded on 9th July with the Fish and Chip 200km ride out to the coast. Well done to everyone who made it around the course in near perfect conditions, although it was a tad warm climbing up through Cheddar Gorge. Many of the riders finished up at the Harp & Crown […]

Wiltshire Council is in the process of developing Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) for the principal settlements and market towns in Wiltshire, as well as the key routes between them. These plans are all intended to help make walking and cycling the natural choices for shorter journeys or as part of a longer […]

Our club audax series seems to have been as popular as ever this year. The 50km ride to Brinkworth in January seems a very long time ago now but 40 of us enjoyed a sunny but cold morning and a fair bit of cake as well. Attendance at the 75km in February was much depleted […]

Helpers Needed This is a call to ALL CLUB MEMBERS for offers of help; simply give up a few hours of your time by volunteering at one of the checkpoints on route, and go home feeling satisfied (and probably full of tea and cake) that you’ve helped your club run another successful event. Fletcher’s Flapjack is being held […]

Exciting news for off-road and gravel fans…….we’re launching a regular Thursday evening series of local off-road rides. The routes will be around 20-25 miles, riding a mix of by-ways and bridleways with inter-linking tarmac road sections. Expect gravel, grass and farm tracks and the occasional bit of mud if it’s been particularly wet. Meet-up: at the […]

Update 5th January: Following yesterday’s Government announcement we have to suspend our previously advertised leisure ride program with immediate effect, so we have taken the January rides down from the club calendar. We will look to re-schedule the rides later when it’s safe to go back to group riding. For now we need to play […]

Following the Government’s latest announcements we are delighted to announce we are resuming our club ride program from 5th December, just in time for the festive season! We have an exciting program of rides for you, including a brand new local off-road route, a super introductory ride for newer members as well as our traditional […]

As a result of the latest lockdown in England and the subsequent announcement from British Cycling, the club has taken the inevitable decision to suspend our programme of rides until 3rd December. This is obviously very disappointing after all the efforts we made to resume club rides in a COVID-safe manner. As things currently stand […]

Our audax series has lived up to its name this year, requiring some courageous spirit to complete the rides. The 50km ride in January was beset by freezing conditions and then the 75km had an unforgiving headwind coming home. The 100km was hit with cold, wet conditions resulting in several DNFs, “Chapeau” to the twelve […]
