2025 Cycling
Marchclick for this month's league table
Navigation Inn, Barrow upon Soar
An excellent Embers turnout eased us into March on a bright day. Fourteen riders collected at the Royal Oak in Kirby Muxloe, and then Ricardo led the ride to Bradgate Park, where we had our alfresco banana break.
We then continued to the Navigation Inn, Barrow upon Soar for our lunch. From there some riders returned to Kirby Muxloe, while others took different paths home.
Back row, left to right: Dave Parry, Nigel Lines, John Ashworth, Richard Clark, Ian Bower, Mick Ayriss, Peter Wright, Derek Jordan, Grahame Billington, Richard Sleath, Tim Wicks.
Front row: Ben Crossley, Carol Homa, John Muschialli. Roll mousewheel to zoom in.
This week many Embers cycled miles between them.
Wheel & Compass, Weston by Welland
A raw north wind did not deter ten Embers. After warming coffee at Dodie's Cafe we set off into the sunshine. A broken chain split the run into two groups, but with our destination arranged, we converged on the Wheel & Compass a few minutes before opening time.
Riders again split into smaller groups for the ride back, and we were all caught at some stage by a hail shower.
This week many Embers cycled miles between them.
Red Lion, Huncote
Embers assembled at Huncote where we met past LPMCC member Richard Taylor walking his dog before going for a ride on his motorcycle.
The weather was good enough to tempt Kathy to join us on her new bicycle. We had a stop for coffee at Greenacres Garden Centre in the morning. Lunch at the Red Lion. Stopped at Palmers Garden Centre in the afternoon.
- Nigel Lines
Three Embers started from Thurlaston Garden Centre after early refreshements, then took a short and curly route to lunch with the crowd.
