What have you done today?

They have started resurfacing work between Cropwell Bishop and the crossroads at Colston Rd and Swabs Ln. Advise to seek alternative route for a few days as they are doing a full resurfacing job....Ab

I was out today doing a loop south of Scalford. Went down Lag Lane which links between the A607 and B676. It's narrow and about 5% downhill, rounding a blind bend about 2/3rds down, the road surface p

8 out today. We headed out along the Trent valley to Kelham and Bathley, where Mike Hankin and friend left us. The rest of us (Me, Sue, Llew, Colin, Steve Perkins and Kev Humphreys), headed for Hocker

A cold day, but not as cold as yesterday. Still a little ice around so kept off the lanes at first. Some went to Newark while ten of us had an easy ride to Farnsfield including Jon Kettell up from Som

Not many out today, perhaps due to the cold weather. Only 5 in our easy group and we headed for Hickling via Orston, Elton, Barkestone and Harby. Martin hit a new pothole near Orston, but we were quic

Riders thin on the ground today as it was a bit drizzly at first - 8 in total I think. Just 2 of us in the super easy group. We headed to Hoveringham and were soon passed by the fast group. However, t

The Easy Weds group went out through Bottesford to Woolsthorpe and climbed up onto the ridge via the Belvoir road. We had a touch of wheels going through Eastwell and Mary came down. Luckily, everyone

About 20 riders today starting in two even groups. One group going to Hickling and I took another to Stathern. We went out through Orston and Plungar for a slightly early stop at the Coffee Shot. It

Plenty of people out today and the numbers were evenly split between the 2 groups. 9 in our group so we decided to go to Cafe Allez. Out via Granby Lane, Langar, Colston Bassett then up to Harby and a

While the larger group went to Little Jack's via Pasture Lane, six in the steady group went to Claypole. This was my first visit to this fairly new café and we were impressed by the food quality and t

A bit of an incident on the Saturday ride. We went out via Bottesford and were overtaken by a van north of Normanton, who then immediately turned left down a farm track, having barely completed the ov

Only 8 riders today with heavy frost and ice about. We all set off together and kept away from the small roads to stay safe. At least the sun was out! This made it a shorter ride than usual to Farnsfi

It was a cold morning but no sign of the forecast frost or ice. The fog was mainly on the high ground. Only 3 of us in the easy group and we stuck to the low lands. We went via Kilvington to the new c

Frost and fog, some ice about at first. Only 5 riders started and we went on gritted roads on a shortened ride to Southwell Garden Centre. Roads were better coming back, so we extended a bit through H

With regret, the Sherwood Open 25 which had been tabled for 15th August 2020 is now going to be cancelled tomorrow. I have notified Bill Stanley of my decision. Unless someone steps up, which I know i

Would anyone like to step forward and become the Sherwood Open 10 mile (and 25 mile potentially) Event Organiser? You can decide whether to run one or two events. Deadline was 3 weeks ago technic

With sunshine and light SE wind, we took the opportunity to go to Claypole hoping it wasn't too busy - it wasn't as it was closed! So we headed to Rumbles at Sconce Park and sat out in the sun. Coming

About 19 riders today, split into 2 groups to meet up at Little Jack's. Unfortunately, we all arrived about the same time, but got served quickly. Started back together for a direct route with rain th

Eight of us in the easy group today had a pleasant ride to the Coffee Shot in Stathern. Out via Bottesford and Castle View Road, back through Colston Bassett and Cropwell Butler - 44 miles for me. A l

Getting ready this morning to go on the club ride and suddenly had an epiphany to do some hill training instead. So went from home via Calverton to do Bank and Bonner hills both ways (with ride back).
