By Anthony La Porte Bright sunshine made for a pleasant start to the morning for thirteen of us as we set out on NCR 45 through the Park towards the Downs. I had been a bit worried that the curly wurly bridge across the M4 would be closed meaning we’d have to head out through [...]

Nice turn out at the Croft Trail for the first one of the year (Sarah, Sarah, Natasha, Kat, Hana, Lorna  plus Jen and Jodie who were not riding for obvious [...]

These photos of the MBSwindon ladies only ride were taken by Jo Page. The event was on 20th November and used the Verderer’s trail in the Forest of Dean. Fair play to Jo: these were taken with a Fuji J10, a super-compact. I owned one myself before moving over the Canon S90. The majority of [...]

We did some other routes in the area on our MIOWEOW ride earlier in the year. We started out by riding [...]

This was a ride organised by Dirt CC, a club based near Bristol. See the DiRT CC Website and Facebook page. We’ve been on some rides with them before (photos from Forest of Dean November 2010). We did a lap of the Verderer’s trail. This is a great trail and like a lot of blue [...]
