Magnificent Seven


So it seems as if the the rain is a coming, and a warm bed was the better option for most this morning. 

But 6 dampened souls met up for this mornings ride, to face whatever could be thrown at them (including a snigger from our Club Secretary  as he drove by, nice and dry in his van!). It was wet, but still fast in through Suicide up to Tiscott, the 6 then became 7 as 1 other rider caught up after tracking us from the shop.

It wasn't a long ride, but it was still further than everyone else did from 07:30 on a wet Saturday morning.



Call that mud! Can't see what everyone was afraid of?


Good to see Tim our (pseudo) campanologist out again!

October Sunset


Not the latest Indy band to hit the south west, but what we were treated to last night before we set off on this weeks midweek ride!

After the driest September since records began (according to the BBC) it was a little sticky under the tires after some rain earlier in the day, but it felt great!

A good mix of new old bikes and old new bikes took on Stowe, Millers, Pheasant pens (long way round) and a cheeky lap of Tiscott.

El Capitan seemed spurned on from watching the ladies road racing to get as many miles and hills in as possible, which wasn't to everyone's liking, but those that stuck with it all felt rewarded at the end.

We all know that all good things come to an end and its going to get muddier soon, so best get some miles in your legs to help cope with it when it gets here!
