One Year On!

26/07/2018 OB1 0

It is a year to the day that I organised the first meeting to gather some interest in reforming the North Wirral Velo.  It was a nervously taken first step that I was dreading.  The fear of no one turning up was what was holding me back.  Fortunately, we had a decent turn out and there was lots of enthusiasm in the room for a new (old) club on the Wirral.

From Couch ‘tater to Bike Racer

28/02/2018 OB1 0

Cycling and I have not always travelled along a smooth road, there has been many a pot hole to disrupt my progress. As a kid my adventures were cut short by having the same bike stolen twice (yes, twice!) and its replacement also stolen the first night I forgot to lock it up. After this, my parents gave up and gave me a football to save money! This may have been a blessing as the week before I missed a 90° bend coming downhill way too fast and had to be peeled off a wall by my friends and patched up by an older sister, maybe not a terrible experience for a 14 year old.
