Update from Nick Timms
So – we’re seven rides into the new MVSC season and it’s been a story of mostly dodging showers and great turnouts. The ‘E-bike’ group has attracted some new riders but please let any friends you have with e-bikes know
First Two MVSC Rides of 2024
Well here we are at the start of another Mike Vybiral Summer Cycling season. It seems like it’s been raining since July last year and it continued on both the first ride at Glooston and then this week at the Bell in Gumley.
Mcmillan Sportive on Saturday 18th May
Discover the quiet roads and off-road trails of Leicestershire & Rutland with four rewarding but challenging routes crossing scenic undulating vales and rolling countryside. The event includes a free refreshment stop for all the routes.
Spring is Here!
Winter is now over, the daffodils are out, the lambs are in the field and the first sounds of lawnmowers can be herd. Spring is here! Our first meet-up for Summer Cycling starts on Wednesday 10th April at Glooston Village Hall at 6:30.
We will miss you Bill
We wanted to share a few words about our very good friend and fellow cyclist, Bill Barrie, who after a long-fought battle with cancer, died at home on Sunday 22nd October, aged 78.
End of the season
Well that’s it – the 2023 MVSC (Mike Vybiral Summer Cycling) season closed it’s doors on September 20th after 23 fantastic Wednesday evening rides.
Glooston Village Hall – Curry night
After visits to many other pubs we returned to an old favourite of mine this week and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Glooston village hall is a great location in my opinion.
Gumley Again!
The Bell at Gumley was again a very good host to this weeks ride and it had to one of the biggest turnout’s we’ve seen all summer. I reckon there were over 50 riders
Wheel & Compass
The rain clouds gathered as the hardy riders met at the Wheel and Compass this week. There were three led rides
The Bell Inn, Gumley.
I guess most of us have been dodging the showers over the last week. Some will have got their timing perfect and find themselves sitting next to a pool in some far-off land sipping on a cool beer.
