  • Thursday 3Rd May. Mangotsfield to Bradford on Avon. Report from Pete Campbell
    Thursday 3rd May. Mangotsfield to Bradford on Avon. Report from Pete Campbell: Oh no! Bill called in sick with a urinary tract infection which sounds bad to me (never having had one) and is apparently worse. He's feeling better than he was now that the antibiotics are helping but we're not sure when the Giant will be back on the road. Also on the subject of sickness, Alex has been fitted with a pacemaker so we can expect bionic performances from him when he's back with us. So with Bill being on the sofa with a cup of tea, you're having to make do with my idea of what today's faster ride was like. When people are being asked to lead a ride, I always like to say that the format is "entirely up to you - as fast or as slow as you like, up as many hills as you like." Some look for a flat route, some take a leisurely approach with maybe a stop for a cultural interlude. Martyn was leading today, so it was likely we'd be at the faster end of the spectrum. Steve had arranged a less intense ride for any sensible people turning up at Mangotsfield station, and he had a few takers. So a group of maybe fifteen or sixteen left in the direction of Pucklechurch. Before the village Chris Hume realised he'd thought today's pace would be the normal Thursday pace (what a mistake) and turned back. After climbing the Hinton bypass Mike Sennett realised he'd also made the same mistake and decided to make his own way to Bradford on Avon.

  • News for December 2016 1St December. Christmas Lunch. Report from Pete Campbell
    News for December 2016 1st December. Christmas lunch. Report from Pete Campbell: How can I make today's ride to Christmas lunch at the Old Royal Ship a bit different to usual, I thought. Normally its more or less direct from Mangotsfield to Luckington, but the calendar had Bitton Station down as the start (can't remember why we're throwing the long-standing traditional Mangotsfield start out the window, but I guess that's what happens when you get kids involved). So I thought, through Bath on the A4 and up Bannerdown, we've not done that for a while. But when I rode it a week ago it took me two and a half hours and I got home knackered. So something gentler for my cycling mates was called for. Anyway, all the planning was a waste of time. Eighteen people met at Bitton on a freezing morning, Martyn's fixie sporting tinsel and decs. I'd planned a normal BTOTC route up Golden Valley, Wick, Doynton, Dyrham Hill, Marshfield, etc. Wednesday morning Peter Ralph texted me about how on Tuesday afternoon he'd hit some black ice just south of Wick so would be driving to the Ship. By the time we got to the same spot, there wa sheet ice for a quarter of a mile where we dismounted and pushed, walking on the narrow verge. Stuart was on his trike which looked very sensible to me (as I assume you can't fall off, can you), but I changed my opinion when he spun it around and fell off.
