Rain had been forecast to bring the fortnight of sunny weather to an end but - it didn't arrive; well not up here in West Yorkshire at any rate. So several HCC groups set out in various directions to make the most of the day and enjoy the views.

Is the cafe the most important part of a ride? How many cafe stops do you have? What's the favourite cake? A cafe con leche or a espresso? Pa am boli or chips? Mallorca has it all!

Sa Calobra is a climb on most people's bucket list. It's iconic. Does your head in, as you descend the climb to come back up. Six of our party took the challenge this time.

Ride to the Orient. Really? Stunning valley at the top of the Col de Honor out of Bunyola. 2 groups completed the ride. #roadcycling #holmfirthcyclingclub #mallorcacycling #orient #coldehonor #womenscycling

Who's not loving this 'never ending' sunshine?! ☀️🤞🏻
Wednesday saw various member groups ride out from the Holmfirth Coop car park to make the most of it. The more adventurous 'Challenge' group set off to explore the Pennines north of Hebden Bridge while others stayed closer to home, enjoying the lanes around Langsett reservoir. Those members enjoying a week in Mallorca had a big day planned riding from Andratx in the west to their base on the opposite, east coast, in Pollenca - details of that ride to follow ...

A sunny weekend was enjoyed by dozens of club members. Some had travelled far to find the sunshine, others had let it come to them. Can you tell which were in Mallorca and which in Yorkshire? Thought not. ☀️

HCC April Women's Ride: we hope as many people as

HCC April Women's Ride: we hope as many people as possible will join us on Easter Saturday, 19th April, 2025. As usual the ride will meet at 9.30am in the Coop Car Park, Holmfirth. We have had a great response on the WhatsApp group so hope to have both a steady A/B ride and a SLIGHTLY faster C paced ride. The plan is to have a coffee stop at Marsden, possibly calling in at the Darkwoods Pop Up taking place that morning.
Hoping to see as many faces as possible and fingers crossed that the weather will (continue to) be kind to us.

Now that summer is here - see our last post - Thursday evening rides are back. Open to all but ideally suited to those non-retired folk who can't swan about during the daytime on Wednesdays and feel like stretching their legs over the hills after a hard day's work. Get in touch if you'd like to join us.

Sunshine! Dry roads! A tail wind (some of the time)? Yesterday was a good day to be out on a bike and the club had various groups scattered across the county; some even ventured into Derbyshire ...
Steep climbs and warm(ish) weather meant fueling was more important than usual, both during and at the end of the ride, solids and liquids. Beer is, apparently isotonic.

First ride of British Summer Time A double whammy

First ride of British Summer Time
A double whammy of losing an hour's sleep and ride set off at 9am rather than 9.30am didn't put too many people off this Sunday. Even the forecast 40mph winds didn't deter.
A nice bright day otherwise (until we headed west on the way home into the headwind).
C group learnt all about punctures in tubeless tyres as the photo shows!
