Last year two horses and riders from Witcham Equestrian Centre were involved in a horrific accident

British Cycling have come up with an idea to encourage you to dig your bike out of the shed and get riding! It is ideal for the complete cycling novice who is looking to start cycling for health, fitness, recreation, commuting or perhaps to tackle a challenge or charity ride.

Willingham Wheels will be starting the 8-week training plan on Tuesday 10th April. Rides will usually be on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and time commitment ranges from a minimum of 1 hour 30 minutes to a maximum of 6 hours 30 minutes per week.

Willingham Wheels AGM, Monday 22nd January, 2018

Events

Let us know by email what you fancy doing. Names only indicate interest shown at AGM.

Yep, more of the same. Left to right Noel, Les, Paul, Phil (Ringer), Robin, Graham, Ken.

Good times achieved - and had - by all. Dom (not pictured) also rode and he and Phil did the 80 miles in roughly 3.5 hours. Robin beat 4 hours in the 60 to 64 category. The rest of us all did better than expected in the Get Round category.

Great pasta on site beforehand seemed to do the trick,

Some of us have already registered for 2018. 
 

Great weekend with Ken acting as host and guide. Tynedale Beer Festival in Corbridge was great, rides were stupendous.

Here are a couple of tasters:

A good day out was had by all. Dom got three punctures, Robin just missed his record time, Noel beat the 5 hour mark. The rest of us were just pleased to get round. 84 miles with burning sunshine and a tough NE wind. Strange combination, made for a sapping second half of the circuit.

It being Bike Week 11 - 19 June (http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/), we thought we
Wheelers and FenEdgers should arrange a bit of a posse to head out West
for some chow and cha. Large extended families welcome, cowboy attire optional.
The possibilities are:
the Floods Tavern (lovely garden) or the Dolphin, both in St. Ives.

Assembly point: Willingham Green, 11 a.m. Sunday 12th June

or at the Guided Busway, Longstanton, at 11.10-ish.

As most of you are aware, Robin took part in the Lincoln Sportive on Saturday 78 mile Race/sportive. He writes:
