    Excellent times from Gareth and Sam. Clive just beats Barry for first place.

  • A chance to test your TT skills on the F1 race circuit. A chance for a Wheelers' team?

  • Cat 6 run led by Mike E
    A great Sunday of televised sport meant the usual category 6 live feed could not happen. No highlights either. So you will have to make do with this verbal baloney. Ten left Hertford, all arriving at Church Farm, Ardeley, without incident. The return started with eight, then reduced to seven, all by choice. In truth it would never have made gripping sport, but the badinage was up to scratch. 31 miles.

    An early start from Hertford attracted a trusting trio who were not only

  • Before you can break out, you must break in.  So I cycled down to Fortis Hill into a pig of a wind with matching rain.  Then it was a case of retracing my steps back to Puckeridge via Brookmans Park and Watton.  And still it rained.  Then all the way back down to Fortis Hill to the finish whereupon a warm and dry return to Hertford.  I've probably made it sound more boring than it was, as it was a good fun ride with good company.  With the toing & froing the 65 mile audax became a 105 mile day out.  Good event, no problems.  PW.

  • Book your sportive ride via the Wheelers' website.

  • Needed this one to get Super Randonneur 2016 recognition.  I started from Dunmow at 11:00 on Saturday.  A not too rapid westerly ride into the wind until Reed (40kms).  Then east to Harwich Docks, via Clare (156kms).  This bit was worth waiting for as the wind blew me along.  However the feeling of flying was mitigated by the showers and storms around us.  Still it's not too difficult coping with getting soaked when you have the knowledge that you'll soon dry out.  After Harwich and on to Clacton.  By now the clouds were black and the lightening was horizontal but we were all treated to the

    13 at the start for today's trip out to Codicotte, in what was probably the best
    weather we've had for some time. I'd received a call earlier letting me know that
    three wheelers on their way to the set off point were delayed due to a slight
    mechanical and would catch us up on route. We were only just outside Hertford when
    we heard the delightful tones of Messrs Taylor and North..... they were still about
    500 yards away but you know how sound travels!!, Somehow Mike's tyre liner had

  • Mark T reports on a long day but a successful event

  • This event has had to be cancelled this year owing to problems beyond our control. We hope to restore the event next year if these problems can be resolved.

  • Got the routesheet and prepared a GPS of it.  From that I made it less than a forty-five miler.  Then the route was further abridged on the day as there had been some flooding.  So the 50 miler turned out to be about 38 miles.  However I didn't begrudge the £16.00 entry fee to ride on roads that I mainly ride on.  There were a few HW stalwarts out on the ride and we had to weave our way through the easies peloton at Lt Hadham.  As we returned through Puckeridge we came across the same group gazing wistfully out of the cafe window.  Well organised ride that prepared us well for the HW BBQ in

  • Never did find out who Alan Furley is\was, but took myself down to High Beech (south of Reading) where I met up with Alex & John.  This was for a 106kms loop in the countryside around Newbury.  Et quelle horreurs - I got a puncture.  Being that I don't usually suffer from these nowadays, as when audaxing I'm usually on bulletproof tyres, this presented a minor problem further exacerbated by the driving rain.  Got back about half an hour after the other two as I was already dropping off their ferocious pace-setting.  A not unpleasant day out, bit of rain, few hills (nothing major), one p
