  • News for June 2013 Thursday 13Th June 2013
    News for June 2013 Thursday 13th June 2013 - report from Pete Campbell: It's around this time of year that I can start to forget about the endless winter and the way that spring was not quite the relief that it should have been. We know that we are into summer, with its constant warmth, lunches outside, and sun cream. So today I was expecting to be disappointed after I'd checked various weather forecasts telling me there would be some wind and a bit of rain later. I hoped they'd got it wrong (hoping for sun), and they did. Rain was falling as soon as I left home for Amcor, and didn't stop till we were well on the way to the Boars Head at Aust. Eleven riders had also decided the weather would be okay, and Dave Woodward took the group north-westwards past Woodhouse Park and then south west to Easter Compton and Hallen where Jane Chapman joined us. We were all wrapped up against the rain and the gale which was blowing up the Severn estuary, and I suppose you'd be optimistic if you'd expected the scenery in that part of Gloucestershire to make the journey seem better. I've not heard of any tourists who are visiting Bath and the Cotswolds feeling they need to check out this area before they go home. But we were lucky, because Dave had included our local seaside resort in the route to Aust: a detour via Severn Beach. At the railway station I noticed a group of junior school pupils on an end of term outing huddled against a wall, trying not to get blown away before the train came.

  • News for December 2013 5Th December 2013 Christmas Lunch
    News for December 2013 5th December 2013 Christmas Lunch at the Old Royal Ship. Message from Bill Balchin. Well done all you heroes who rode to, and especially from, Luckington. I hope you got home before dark. Yes, I bottled out and drove - but I don't mind once a year when I have eaten a Christmas lunch (excellent as usual I thought). Many thanks to Pete and Malcolm, not just for today but all year. Ride report from Pete Campbell: We left Mangotsfield station at 10:15 with Rob Searle leading the way to Luckington. His appointment as ride leader today was clearly a popular decision, as twenty-two people made their way to the old station for the ride. Two minutes into the ride Lara rolled over a sharp object (not sure what, but I guess that doesn't really matter, only that her tyre needed fixing). Mike volunteered to assist and the pair made their own way to lunch. So a smaller but still large enough group of twenty followed Rob down the new cycle path across the railway into Westerleigh, up Wapley Hill, through Dodington and across the A46 near Old Sodbury. A loop through Badminton village gave us the opportunity to view some seriously high-quality Cotswold stone for a few seconds. But we were not out for the view - a Christmas meal was waiting. A short detour round Alderton and we'd done 28 kilometers before lunch. We had seventy two people there this year for the very acceptable menu of soup, turkey with many trimmings and Christmas pudding.
