This weekend, the various Sunday groups are joining forces to ride the daunting Bwlch y Groes route, from Plascrug Leisure Centre at 9am or 10am in Machynlleth. It’s a fantastic ride despite the hilly bits with fantastic views and quiet roads. There will be stops along the way for riders to regroup and have food stops etc. Contact Colin Armstrong for more details -

Five members of the club have entered the 3 day Tour of Dorset, starting this Saturday with a 7km prologue time trial. Danny Thorogood and Gruff Lewis are hoping that a strong showing in the TT will enable them to defend a high position in the road stages, assisted by Jade Wilmot, Murdo Jamison and Shelley Childs. Murdo is a previous stage winner at the race, which takes in three road stages of the rolling Dorset countryside on Saturday, Sunday and Monday 21-23rd August.
