    A straightforward trip to Codicote was drawn out by four punctures, including one before we set off, plus very slow service at Vanstone's Garden Centre. Still, the weather was great. Eighteen riders over 33 miles.

  • Lots of work has been done, entries are coming in, many have volunteered their time - but more help is still needed.

  • There may be just a few senior members of the club who remember Trevor, but sadly we must report his recent passing at his home in Buntingford. He had not fully recovered since he suffered a serious fall earlier this year.
    Trevor joined us from the Herts. & Essex Wheelers in 1958 and with his wife, Barbara, they were active members of our club well in to the 1960s, when they rode club and open time trials and took part in club runs and most social events.

  • Cat 6 run led by Mike E
    After the flamboyance and derring-do of earlier summer rides, the category six group repeated a well worn, bread and butter ride to Hatfield Heath and back. No incidents for the fourteen riders over the 35 miles.

  • Club run led by Mike E
    Without the enigmatic Elijah C Gruntfuttock, eight pedalled a virtuous loop to Much Hadham, Standon and Sacombe in one of the ever decreasing opportunities to clock up evening miles, this time 23. There were no takers for the unled option. 8 riders

  • Congratulations to Peter Walton and Martin Wheeler.

  • Congratulations to Peter Walton and Martin Wheeler.

  • Your club is one of the few to organise a full road race. This is quite a spectacle with motorcycle escort, cars carrying the British Cycling "Commissaire" and providing race service, and marshals at road junctions. There will be about 60 riders completing 7 laps of a course near Codicote - 63 miles in total.
    We organise all of this - specifically John Pearson and Paul Stewart organise it but they need help from Club members! Please read John's message below and see if you can help, even in a small way.

  • Cat 6 run led by Danny H
    11 of us set of from ware to the airfield at stapleford abbotts in glorious sunshine. Our route took us through the Lavers to Morton and down through Toot hill and Stanford rivers. While enjoying our refreshments we were able to watch the aircraft taxiing right out side the cafe and a helicopter land and take off. A shorter route back with only one minor indecent. Phil the power managing to get stung on the ear and receiving emergency treatment by our 'qualified' paramedic, captain Bob.  I knew that first aid course would come in handy.

  • Cat 5 led by Ian S
    5 riders including 2 Guests rode to Hare Street via Hunsdon, Bishops Stortford, Berden and Brent Pelham. Sat in the garden for a pleasant break in the sunshine before returning to Ware by way of Westmill, Great Munden, Standon and Dowsetts Lane, deciding to avoid the intended route through Barwick Ford because of potential traffic chaos due to a music festival. 42 miles at a brisk pace in lovely weather.

  • Dear Sirs,
    Only just made the start of the Wednesday ride, having successfully explained the disappearance of my five millionaire ex-wives to the police. My butler is expected in court next week to be charged with the multiple murders. Phew! Then I held up you guys with a two and a half stop at the garage in Ware to recharge my electric bike - sorry about that. I have only just bought it from the Sky team, but had not realised how depleted the battery was after the Tour de France.

  • Cat 3 led by Mark T
    Yet again the heavens opened up over Essex. I was met by Lee Anderson and Jonathan Dove (who had set off even earlier and had already done 30ish miles in the dry!). I gave them a choice of either doing a club run or just going home and keeping dry.
