What a great weekend away. A small but perfectly formed group set off for the wilds of Shropshire for a weekend of cycling and socializing. On Friday a trio set off for a warm up ride in search in chips in Bridgenorth. On Saturday one group set off on a road adventure whilst another went graveling but both converged on Ironbridge but failed to meet up! On Sunday we all set off together in search of lunch in Bewdley. I could tell you more but what happens on the weekend away s

Well, just me, myself and Paul out for a ride today 😮 We had a good chinwag and put the world to rights. Great Guinness cake and carrot cake from the cafe. We opted for the slightly longer return route where I took Paul up the climb to Alderwasley as he hadn't had the pleasure of riding that one before 😄

So this morning 3 of us out on the inters ride. We soon realised we had gone in the wrong direction so a nice big climb up through Bonsal to get us back on track. A lit of people on the roads and not much care for cyclists. Arrived safely at Hassops Thank you to Adrian for breakfast. On return it was very busy at and around Chatsworth. Decided to change route and come back through Beeley, Tansley, Ribber, Rich, Neither Heage I'd home. Great ride. Special shout out to Dave

4 riders had an XC ride based in the classic peaks MTB guide book around Hollymoorside and Linarce resovoir. Next Thursday back on the Belper loop.

14 riders out tonight in equal groups of fast and not-so-fast on a dry and improving evening. We artfully worked around the closed bridge at Darley Abbey mill, giving a long but rewarding ride. Nothing of note happened - as we like it - and back to The Grapes 🙂Special shout-out to Geordie John for his Ride to the Sun next weekend, it was good being part of your training!
