Is that a Metal Road I see?

Sunday 15th Ride towards Condicote. This was the first true outing for the CRAP club and was the first for many in a long session of training rides for the HONC in April. Our leader (Martin) set out to meet at the Buckland crossroads, where it was all uphill from there. The team consisted of Mark, Quentin, Martin, Ian and Dave.

All in all about 15/16 miles? and a great start to training.

From left to right: Dipsy, Po, LaLa, and Tinky Winky?

Wow - Lycra and men....
A really enjoyable, if not difficult (for me) ride and the weather was perfect. Ground was nice and firm and the views were perfect - lets hope it stays like this every sunday.

Mark came off his bike whilst enjoying an area of scientific interest or something... not serious, but enough to worry him about the steering and front wheel..Ian soon sorted him out and told him to stop being such a wuss.


Isn't this where George Davis lives?

Not sure how this picture looks to anyone else...but I think theres something odd..?!
Honest - it was not planned! No where is that metal road?

A hard mornings work - near the end of the ride somewhere in the Cotswolds (not quite sure where...muddy lane top?) Ah...there is the metal road, at last.!

2012 - A New Year and A New YOU?

We are always very pleased to see new riders join the club - so if you are looking to get out into the cotswolds for a few hours of great riding then this is the cycle club for you. We don't take ourselves too seriously, although there are a couple among us who could do some serious off-road biking! - We always enjoy our riding whatever ability.

A friendly group of people, whose main aim is to enjoy the scenery, fresh air and a bit of exercise and to cycle in the HONC (Hell of the North Cotswolds)
