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 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.

Red Ride to Leger Lakes
Red Ride to Leger Lakes 07 August 2022 In the absence of our regular leader, it was a case of situation vacant and as no one is more vacant than me, I volunteered myself. Read moreRead more
Blue Ride to Sandtoft's Happy Café
Blue Ride to Sandtoft's Happy Café 07 August 2022 We were five, nearly six but John H had decided to take the red ride route and John C thought he could keep up with the red ride so both left us. Secretly we knew they were better off there anyway! Read moreRead more
Martin's Midweek Evening Ride
Martin's Midweek Evening Ride 03 August 2022 No Adrian this week, he’s on some beach somewhere in his budgie smugglers but there were still 9 of us for this week’s midweek evening ride. Read moreRead more
Blue ride to Retford
Blue ride to Retford 31 July 2022 We three, Pete, Denise Motley and me, Martin Crapper didn’t quite leave the cricket club before the rain started so it was a trio of cyclists in cycling style so’westers who headed out. Read moreRead more
TVC Blue Ride to Manvers Lake
TVC Blue Ride to Manvers Lake 17 July 2022 So, with the true Blue Ride Leader being indisposed – something to do with COVID (isn’t that getting to be old hat nowadays?), it fell upon the Trainee Ride Leader to propose, plan and execute a Blue ride. Read moreRead more
