14 riders out tonight taking on the Summer Special challenge in wet conditions. We started in 2 groups but that soon splintered into multiple groups with the last group arriving back in Belper at 9.20! The final total was 28 miles and 3400 ft of climbing. See you all next year.

Shenington 24 Hour BFPCR Pedalcar Race…definitely the best racing experience that I’ve had in years 😂. 25 Teams on a very twisty and fast Kart track…what could possibly go wrong…nobody brakes for the fast chicanes or hairpins…absolutely brilliant. Flying the flag for Belper BC, as a driver for ROYCE UK (Precision Engineered UK manufacturer of bike components) in “Pink Panther”. Great teamwork. Despite being a driver short, only 5 against teams of 6, and losing one drive si

An early start for Caroline, Jane and Margaret. We used the original Belles route and made up our own refreshment stops. Coffee at Millie’s which was also a Campsite. Decent fish finger sandwich and chips at The Crown Pub, Old Dalby. A lovely hot day ending with beer and icecreams at Hickling Wharf with the guys from the gravel ride. ☀️🚴‍♀️ This ride was organised on the ladies Belper BC WhatsApp community. #belperbc

Good early start with Gareth & John G. Adapted last years route to include some more off-road which in some places was a bit draggier than expected, but it kept us off the roads. Lunch stop at Langar 😁, watching the parachutists landing at high velocity😳. Couple of pints at Hickling Wharf to round off the day

The Saturday ride went over to Monyash. Going up up up! #belperbc

Great to see 10 riders on the local Belper loop enjoying the sunshine and 2 pub stops!!!!

Road and gravel tonight Slightly warm tonight with 8 of us out on the Tuesday social with 3 taking the longer route and 5 wimping out and taking the shorter option. Another group set off earlier in search in gravel and shade. At the time of writing (8.37) only 3 of us had made it back to the Grapes for dehydration. Only thing to report from our group was more and more bits of John’s bike falling off the further round the route we got. He did still have wheels and a frame a

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
