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 […]

Audax Series Update & Results
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 […]

Club Rides Suspended during Lockdown
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.

The 100km was hit with cold, wet conditions resulting in several DNFs, “Chapeau” to the twelve […]
