This Sunday's A run will be grey and dull. It will be so excessively boring that you are advised not to bother getting out of bed. Hopefully the weather will consist of driving sleet. Cafe philosophical discussion will be centred on the emptiness and pointlessness of existance. Riders planning on j...

Thanks to Ian for Today's A run.

Great result Gavin .As Dave says second hand TT bikes aren't a bad shout as they seem to be moved on perhaps more than road bikes ( mines been close to going on e bay a few times ) thing is they are usually ridden infrequently and on better roads than road bike, no of that grubby Audax nonsense, so ...

Firstly a sincere apology to Keith if you felt upset by a totally innocent comment I made regarding "samey" club rides. Keith this wasn't a dig at you personally but I appreciate it wasn't the best comment to make considering you had lead quite a number of rides at that time. Don't sweat it it was ...

I dropped by at Spetchley to make sure that they are happy to receive us on Sunday. They are, but the café has changed hands/operators over the winter. As always seems to happen in such circumstances, they have gone a bit posh. Menus on blackboards, fancy coffee and little bits of salad with your s...

Seems to me separation through infrastructure is key, most of my near misses are as a result of driver impatience coupled with a lack of room. I doubt driver behaviour will be easily altered. And I guess infrastructure doesn't come cheap. I'd come to work every day by bike but in the winter there's...
