Ever busy at HCC, we invited members to attend a b Ever busy at HCC, we invited members to attend a bike maintenance evening. 5 club members offered workshops on gears, tyres, chains,  brakes and 'what's in Adrian's saddlebag' !
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.

Summer is nearly here ... and coffee is just over Summer is nearly here ... and coffee is just over the top of the next hill; or maybe the one after next. 
Sunday saw a large number of riders assemble in the Coop car park and groups set off in various directions to make the most of the sunshine. Fine weather meant all the cafes were busy but it was easily warm enough to sit outside. Long may that continue.

Once a month our Wednesday club rides include an ' Once a month our Wednesday club rides include an 'Away Day' option in addition to the usual pace based groups. Travelling for up to an hour to a start/finish point before starting the ride allows route planners to include terrain beyond Holmfirth's usual radius, e.g. to explore the Forest of Bowland. Yesterday's Away Day saw a baker's half dozen riders start from Pontefract and then do a 75 mile tour of Elmet. Other club members enjoyed a sunny ride to the delightful garden of Hilary's Tea Rooms in Cawthorne. Everyone had a great time and retuned home content.

Easter Sunday brought sunshine and a fine balance Easter Sunday brought sunshine and a fine balance of cycling and family commitments. Variations in the timing of the latter meant our usual groups had some additional fluidity, with riders joining and leaving rides at various points en route. No photos from our fastest and most far ranging D group, who completed a brisk round-trip to Haworth, as they had their heads down and both hands on the bars at all times. 🚵🚵🚵
We are a flexible club - so long as everyone gets home in time for dinner ;-)

Rain had been forecast to bring the fortnight of s 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.

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 ...
