Cleveland wheelers York train trip. Sat, 18th Oct

Hi all. Sorry I know it’s late notice but a few of us are having a Cleveland wheelers and friends afternoon / early evening out in York. Will be a nice afternoon out. All welcome, singles, couples, even unicyclists can come! Train departs m’bro station at 12.28. We will probably get the last but one train back at 19.16. I believe the train costs about £11 to £14? But I’m afraid I don’t really know as I get it for free ;-). See you all there. Thanks, Dave k

Letter from America

Nine months in the USA. Six months cycling.

Paul Thornton

“Instead of all that commuting, why don’t you move to Virginia for a while and start that plant up?”. Thanks very much. Virginia? It’s half way up on the right hand side, much like Yorkshire.

Arriving in January for six months (which has now turned into 15) with three suitcases and a bike box, we’re plunged into minus ten conditions. Minus ten Fahrenheit. All cyclists know how much weather influences our riding so that wasn’t a great start. But Virginia is very dry, the roads are rideable even after a deep freeze and a ‘winter’ bike is unheard of. I’ve washed my only bike only once, its brake blocks remain pristine and nothing much wears out.

Let’s Get Retro

As with many of these things the idea started with a few conversations which led to something, which led to something else which ended up with me coming up with an excuse to ride my bike, as though I need one!  The acquisition of an old 1970’s Coventry Eagle rescued from my uncle’s garage was the starting point I suppose.  I needed to justify having it and so organised what I thought would be a ride that would attract about half a dozen or so Wheeler’s riders.
