Vätternrundan
Submitted by David Dyer on 17 June 2013 - 8:50pmHere are just some of the memories from a great trip that Magnus, Mark and I took to the Vätternrundan, a 300k ride around a Swedish lake with nearly 20,000 other cyclists.
Golf club 9/6 - don't let a break get way
Submitted by Andrew Payne on 10 June 2013 - 11:14pmThe morning started gray and wasn’t forecast to brighten up till after the time we all expected to be back home. This didn’t put off 9 riders meeting up at the golf club for the usual brisk ride. This week a new rider Alistair turned up for what turned out to be a baptism by cycling fire. Others in attendance along with myself were Les, Mike, Matt, Rob, Simon with Dan and Mark stepping up from the Clock Tower group.
Fast, flat 50 - reliability ride
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 9 June 2013 - 5:56pm11 of us turned up at the clock tower, two of our normal crowd had deserted us for the Bird Hills group (and looking at their Strava feedr I wonder if we will ever see them again?), but we had all ridden before and there were no new members so I did a quick check that everyone was happy with 50 miles and decided we could do the 80km reliability ride route today as I had it loaded on my Garmin.

Staying together!
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 2 June 2013 - 6:46pm11 of us today - and we stayed together all the way round to the very end! No drop outs this week...but it was shorter and slower than recently, partly due to the fact I did a 90 mile Sportive yesterday and partly because Gurpal had just done the 25 mile TT on the ski slope. Malcolm met us at the start with membership cards (and to tell some of us we hadn't paid yet...we have now! oops) Summer really feels like it has arrived, although it was a bit breezy!

A Club '25' 50 years ago. News from the Archive
Submitted by Peter Bell on 26 May 2013 - 1:00pmA couple of weeks ago one of our Vice-Presidents, John Parfitt and his wife Anne, now living near Chippenham after 30 years living in Holland, called in to see me for lunch and an opportunity to catch up on all our news. John you may remember has been a continuous member of the club since 1960.
Sunday 19th May Road Race instead of the normal group ride.
Submitted by Andrew Payne on 20 May 2013 - 11:08pmI’m not sure how many turned up for Sundays Bird Hills club ride as the regulars where either doing a road race around the Drift Road or providing support.
This was the 1st event in recent years where a team entered from the club for a road race. The team consisted of Colin, Brett, Andy W and Michael S. For Colin and Brett this was their first experience of road racing.
