Wednesday saw the usual selection of groups riding Wednesday saw the usual selection of groups riding out from Holmfirth plus our once monthly Away Day for those who have the time and inclination to venture a little further afield. Starting from a car park close to the Sett Trail in Hayfield they rode a large loop around Buxton. Everyone enjoyed the blue skies and summer weather.

This weekend saw a large group of members travel u This weekend saw a large group of members travel up to Dent on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales, for one of our informal camping trips. Dent's actually in Cumbria but we soon disabused the locals of that bureaucratic alternative fact. The weather was mixed, but then it was equally mixed for those riding from Holmfirth yesterday; some dodged the downpour, others weren't so lucky. For our happy campers there was always the comfort of the local pub to look forward to .. . or the roof of a car.

Reasonable weather on Wednesday meant several grou Reasonable weather on Wednesday meant several groups set off from the Holmfirth Coop car park at 0900. The forecast for this coming weekend still doesn't seem to have made up its mind but we're hopeful since many members will be heading off to Dent for one of our annual camping weekends. As a reminder, the club is also currently hosting its summer Mouse Time Trial series and the next event will be on 12 June. Sign-on is at Moose Storage from 7pm with first rider off at 7:30pm.

That's what the chippy run is all about. Various group rides including our junior members, meeting up at the Traveller's Rest at Brockholes. What's not to like?

Well attended, learned loads and had a laugh!

Head for the Stables at Silkstone or the Spotty Cafe at Langsett. Probably the biggest scones this side of Buckingham Palace plus a colourful collection of buckets and spades. 
Great rides today -in the sun again!

Star Wars Day Darth Vader didn't make an appearanc Star Wars Day
Darth Vader didn't make an appearance this year but the winter weather did. Shivering along spring lanes in the easterly wind. 30 riders with 4 different speed groups. The Mexican contingent had breakfast at Cusworth Hall; others feasted at Mamil Cafe, Brighouse; Riversmeet, Methley; and Dearne Lea at Shelley. Rides are a great way to catch up with friends whilst stretching the legs. Perfect!

Yup, that's the Ronde Van Calderdale. A number of HCC members suffered this experience. Did they put a foot down on any of the cobbled climbs? They say not, and I'm minded to believe them!

Wow! Not even May (yesterday) and yet hot like sum Wow! Not even May (yesterday) and yet hot like summer with the added beauty of Spring: bluebell woods and nesting swans. Plus the usual good company and fabulous cafe stops; a double dip for one of our groups who claimed they'd earned it by ... riding uphill (ahem). And, with weather this dry, you can ride the bridleways on your road bike.
