It's not all about cycling: HCC cyclists have wide It's not all about cycling: HCC cyclists have wide-ranging interests. Debate as to which of the Bronte sisters was the better writer on a previous ride led to a trip out to Haworth yesterday. The visit didn't settle the debate but the weather was kind and views spectacular. Why not join us - and save on a book club subscription at the same time - https://www.holmfirth.cc
And which sister is your favourite?

2 ride-outs in less than summer weather this weeke 2 ride-outs in less than summer weather this weekend. Exploration of the Strines and a route to Old Stables at Silkstone.
A puncture on the way home allowed a gadget show to take place. A tyre glider didn't perform well so old fashioned tyre levers came into play. The new-fangled electric pump fared better.

They look happy and fresh enough in the photo - although it's not clear if this was taken before or after they left the Holme Valley. 🤔

Father's Day meant some riders weren't out yesterd Father's Day meant some riders weren't out yesterday and many of those who were needed to be back earlier than usual either to fete or be feted. But that didn't stop us enjoying the beautiful weather and local landscape. Some headed bravely to Lancashire, guaranteeing a grippy route out to Hollingworth Lake; others found steep climbs closer to home with an excellent cafe stop at the Old Stables in Silkstone Common.

Various groups set out yesterday, mostly on local Various groups set out yesterday, mostly on local roads while a group of 11 met by the Ladybower reservoir for the June monthly Away Day. They enjoyed quiet (and less familiar) country lanes with a challanging 20% climb out of Rowsley. The last photo: if these gents were any younger I'd be worrying about them spending too much time doomscrolling. But, fear not, they have no time for Tik-Tok when there's a menu to be studied ...

HCC member, John, completed a great ride through F HCC member, John, completed a great ride through France to Spain in early May. 1100 miles in total and not always in great weather! 17 days riding including some magnificent Pyrenean cols. Favourite roads were in the Basque region apparently.

This weekend was a very busy one for Holmfirth CC. This weekend was a very busy one for Holmfirth CC. It saw 23 members travel to Beverley for a variety of rides and camping (some also stayed in B&Bs, some travelled up for a single day). The iffy weather caused us to curtail the planned 100 mile ride but we still got to see the sea at Bridlington. Saturday evening was very sociable and there may have been the sharing of  tall tales of cycling derring-do around the camp-fire. Other members who didn't make it to Beverley had various valid excuses, such as taking part in club gravel or MTB rides, joining a Glorious Gravel event in the Peak District, or the Red Rose Classic Audax starting in Halifax. A busy weekend indeed! Why not come and join us? - https://www.holmfirth.cc

Nor, whatever the weather, is a trip over the to Calder valley which makes local hill seem almost easy. Almost. But rain can't prevent our riders from having a good natter, either on the bike or over a full English breakfast (kudos to  the Mamil cafe in Hebden Bridge).

It's going to rain....78% chance according to BBC It's going to rain....78% chance according to BBC weather app. Not a drop of rain fell as groups headed to Newmillerdam and Cannon Hall. 20 riders joined the C ride so a fast, medium and steady group split was agreed. One mile per hour difference between each group. A great day out.

Each month the club organises an awayday. A ride Each month the club organises an awayday.  A ride starting about an hour's drive from Holmfirth. A chance to explore some new roads. This month we set off from Wetherby, with stops at Pateley Bridge and Masham, and including the fearsome Lofthouse climb.
