Poor Lindsay was the only inters rider but joined the faster group on the way back from the cafe. No one left behind #belperbc

Great 6 up ride out to Southwell via the new bridge over the Trent at LadyBay. New cafe ‘Tina’s’ on Colwick industrial estate. Nice ride by Trent up to Southwell GC for a great cafe stop. New trails around Southwell and Hallaughton which were fantastic. Back via Blidworth and Hucknall. Great day out on the bike and worth getting up a couple of hours early 😀

Two groups with either 12, 13 or 14 of us out tonight depending on what part the ride you were on. One rider forgot his helmet and one rider had better offer of a hot tub mid ride.

Then back to The Grapes where Richard joined us after his training ride on the Penny. I’m not around next week as I’m off on yet another cruise so I’ll leave you in

Today 20 hardy souls set out at 6am to attempt this, only 9 achieved it in tough riding conditions. For Cat this is the biggest ride on penny by far so determination was the word for the day. Another step in the training ladder for Richard who is aiming at a 340 mile day very soon! 'Penny Farthing Round The Bend' Richard has also set u

Lovely Sunday Social Ride to Hudson’s. 6 started out at Belper Triangle collecting Peter on the A6 before the gruelling Burley Hill into Quorndon. Lovely to welcome Sally on her first group ride today. Every one was in good spirits enjoying the sunshine with a fresher breeze! Met up with Jane a few miles before our coffee stop and we were all well looked after with refreshments at Hudsons.

A new route to Bolsover Castle was ridden in the sunshine with some going earlier to beat the heat and some leaving at the normal time to enjoy the heat! A little sightseeing was encouraged at Sutton Scarsdale Hall. Great route, lovely company and scorchio! #belperbc
