Bob and Steven Taylor appeared on their fabulous new Dawes Super Galaxy bikes this evening, but I'm not sure if they would have come had they known the proposed route: this was de...

Fri, 29 Jun 1990
The changeable weather made it difficult to decide what to do. Rain was forecast and definitely in the air, so we chose a circuitous route past the new Pennywell farm centre to Ra...
Old Forge, Holne
Sun, 01 Jul 1990
With nine on the all-day ride, attendance was somewhat depleted for the afternoon ride. Those who ignored the morning's rain were rewarded with excellent weather for this short ri...

Instow Youth Hostel 2
