Bird Hills Club Ride 11 Feb 2018
Submitted by Mike Woods on 11 February 2018 - 9:48pmThere were four riders out today (would have been five but one missed the start), and again all four of us (Andrew, Brett, Mike and Rob H) were in club kit.
We again decided to give the Chilterns a miss, due to last night’s weather, and headed off on one of the “traditional” routes to Pangbourne, with some small deviations.

Bird Hills Club Ride 04 Feb 2018
Submitted by Mike Woods on 4 February 2018 - 10:57pmIt was good to see all five of the riders (Andrew, Brett, Mike, Pete and Rob H) who braved the cold and wind arriving in club kit, and the group looked very “professional”.
It was decided to give the Chilterns a miss due to the recent weather and the risk of punctures.
The 'unreliability' ride
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 4 February 2018 - 4:24pmA cold but sunny morning for the 7 of us who decided to recce the reliability ride which we will redo later this month - Dave D, Hewan, Dean, Taran, me, new member Simon and a guest appearance from Rob O Keefe from the Birds Hill group. On leaving the station to head towards Twyford a split occurred early on with Rob, Dean and Hewan powering off trailing the rest of us - Dean was supposed to be taking it easy with a chest infection but the temptation to ride with Rob was just too much!
Doing the usual...the Clock Tower ride 28th Jan 2018
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 3 February 2018 - 11:22amWe used to write up our weekly rides regularly but I have got a bit lazy in the past few months so this is an attempt to reinstate the 'ride report' for the clock tower ride.
Using the new Whatsapp group (any members reading this who would like to be added to the group let me know - my number is 07885 498775) we prearranged the route and had a good idea of who would be there. We had decided on our 'usual' route (although we haven't ridden this for a fair while) in advance so knew we had a few hills to do.
