About Us

At Easter 2009, Kev's beloved Carla passed away. On 1st June 2010 Kev Bellion, Steve Warner and Lee Connolly will attempt to cycle approx 1000 miles from Lands End to John O'Groats in just 11 days. The ride is dedicated to Carla's memory. The lads will try and raise as much money as possible for The Liverpool Womens Palliative Care Unit. To DONATE CLICK THE DONATE BUTTON

Very Sociable, Social Ride


Dilemma today was, which ride to go out with???? Chipping with a mix of the race group and B's, never a good mix, as it constantly splits the bunch. Or the only other option was head out with the Social Group. We (Kev and I) opted for the later and had a most enjoyable ride. It was so relaxed and leisurely that we were able to chat throughout the ride, rarely do you have enough energy to chat constantly on a club ride. I even spotted Andy popping into a newsagents in Churchtown and still get back on the group. I must add that he was purchasing a drink, not the Sunday newspaper that I first thought he'd gone in for.
The route took us on some wonderful very minor roads that I didn't know existed around Hesketh Bank and Tarleton, then again through towards Bretherton.
The weekend has clocked up about 90 miles at quite a gentle pace. We had to do something to stop Lee falling further behind!
The picture was a reference to a socialable bike for a Social Group ride. Or it may be what we need to enable Lee to keep up. As for Downhill Danger, didn't you know Lee, my bike handling skills are from many years practise? Or is it that fat cyclists roll downhill much faster?
