Jenny & Pete's Red Ride to Lemon Tree Epworth
Jenny & Pete's Red Ride to Lemon Tree Epworth 15 January 2023 It was Jenny's Birthday, what better way to spend it than leading one of our rides in chilly conditions to the Lemon Tree Cafe Read moreRead more
Blue ride to Idle Valley (or not as the case was)
Blue ride to Idle Valley (or not as the case was) 27 November 2022 Three of us ignored the weather forecast together with almost double figures worth of red riders and met up at the Cricket Club. It was not raining and the wind was light - couldn’t be better for the time of year. Read moreRead more
Wednesday morning easy ride to Cuckoo Wharf
Wednesday morning easy ride to Cuckoo Wharf 09 November 2022 There were three of us, me, Martin Crapper, Anita Twohig and Rob Drohan, waiting for upwards of 30 seconds to see if anyone else turned up before we set off. Read moreRead more
Wednesday morning ride to Wentworth
Wednesday morning ride to Wentworth 02 November 2022 No one rolled up. Just me! And it was a great day for a ride - where were you? It said 9am on the Facebook page so you might have turned up at 9.30 or perhaps even 10. Read moreRead more
Blue ride to Netherthorpe
Blue ride to Netherthorpe 30 October 2022 Technology! Technology - whose idea was it any way. I’m sure we were all better off in the olden days when we had candles with little marks on the side so you knew what time it was and you had a bottom draw with a candle with an extra hour to bring out in October and a short one to use in March.

Matt's Lumpy Laughton Loop
Matt's Lumpy Laughton Loop 04 October 2022 I know you were in the London Marathon or maybe you were on a park run but you missed a good ride today. We didn’t all miss out of course those that didn’t were: Matt Lowe (ride leader), Kevin Thomas, Pete Hanks, Christina Cooper, Ian who became John Huggins, and was the ghost throughout, together with Nick Kay for entertainment value. Oh and almost forgot me, Martin Crapper. Read moreRead more
Blue feature ride to Lincoln' Steam Punk festival
Blue feature ride to Lincoln' Steam Punk festival 29 August 2022 We wandered through small and large villages on our way to the SUSTRANS route which would take us most of the way into Lincoln - South Wheatley, Sturton Le Steeple, North Leverton, South Leverton, Treswell, Stokeham and Laneham before bypassing Dunham on Trent and reaching the start of the off road bit at Fledborough, eleven and a half miles into the ride.

Blue ride to Idle Valley or 10 Green Bottles
Blue ride to Idle Valley or 10 Green Bottles 21 August 2022 I’m sure improvisation is a key attribute of a less than average ride leader. So waking from an on-bike snooze I had us turning right on Job Lane without a flicker of consciousness. Fully awake by the end of Job Lane we turned left and rejoined the planned route in the centre of the village having desperately sought for an outstanding landmark to explain the “diversion”.

Blue Ride to Lotties at the Butterfly Farm
Blue Ride to Lotties at the Butterfly Farm 14 August 2022 Thirty Two degrees was forecast on one of my Apps, Will anyone turn up for a gentle stroll through the countryside? No doubt at least seven others thought the same. I, for one, was pleased I hadn’t gone on the cleetthorpes ride with the red group. But turn up we all did, we seven, and after what seemed a lot of chatting we set off AND…. Read moreRead more
