Post lockdown outdoors goals: we’ll be hosting safely spaced out training groups on how to brake and ride around corners, ideally not at the same time #bathcycling #lifebehindbars #whereweride #milesofsmiles #stravacycling #cyclinglife #cyclingpics #cycling #bicycle #bicycles #roadcycling #cyclingphotography #instacycling #igersbath #goodvibesandbikerides #zwiftcycling #lols

Our continuing series of class paint jobs based on

Our continuing series of class paint jobs based on the green, pink & white theme, this one spotted on here by @jason_bhandari via @spray.bike Paint block out! - check out this super 3 colour work.
And in the words of its painter @_manustudio :

In the lockdown here in Belgium, Quinten my boyfriend needed something to do. He wanted to make a bike for me, which was at first a very crazy idea.
We had found a new carbon frame online through a bankruptcy. Quinten doesn’t know anything about making a bicycle, though with a lot of research we made a perfectly working bicycle.
I made the design of bike. I am a graphic and interior designer, and I wanted something special and good-looking for myself, which made it all possible with spray.bike.
I really love the green and the pink colors together, I made a simple design.
Now we are thinking about making more bikes together, it was quit fun.

Fantastic project @_manustudio

The Westbury Horse painted by Eric Ravilious in 19

The Westbury Horse painted by Eric Ravilious in 1939. Wondering how many Sunday cycling club runs from Bath have been inspired by this view?

So, we’re up to week #26 of our lockdown Virtual

So, we’re up to week #26 of our lockdown Virtual Club Rides where we post a weekly route for members to follow at their leisure and post for ‘hilarious’ effect on our Facebook Members Only group and on Strava. We’re that desperate for theme ideas to stay within ‘local’ range that we seized on the Netflix bonkfest ‘Bridgerton’ that recently used Bath for locations to stand in for Georgian London. 22 miles doesn’t sound like much but, crikey, when it’s the most convoluted, hill-infested tour of all the locations, you feel like you’ve enjoyed a couple of frisky hours with Simon the Duke of Hastings/Daphne Bridgerton - delete as appropriate. Hang on in there, people.

Great ride out this morning in our groups of six, all sorted out on our RideHub. Come join us and you could be cycling axle-deep in leaves and escaped ponds. Cheesy grins on mud-spattered faces is what it’s all about for us...

We’ve had a lovely few months riding together as a club in small groups. Hopefully it won’t be too long before it’s safe to do this again, but until then we’re back to the virtual club rides we enjoyed throughout the summer (but perhaps a bit chillier ☃️).

Would’ve been the VC Walcot Hill Climb today, perhaps given the hideous weather all for the best we had to cancel. This from 11 years ago today shows the podium from left @robcyclist who today is officiating at his own club’s @chipwheelers event on Bowden Hill, our founder member @peter.giddings1, Chris from Chelsea Road Café, @drjones97 and Tom Marshall #nextyear #bathcycling #lifebehindbars #whereweride #milesofsmiles #stravacycling #cyclinglife #cyclingpics #cycling #bicycle #bicycles #roadcycling #cyclingphotography #instacycling #igersbath #goodvibesandbikerides #morewomenonbikes @western_hill_climb_series

One of our Sunday rides yesterday, taking advantag

One of our Sunday rides yesterday, taking advantage of the sunny weather, followed a scenic route up through the Cotswolds, taking in a new cafe stop, @thistledowncafe, as well as the infamous ‘W’ climb at Nailsworth, and the truly painful ascent up to Goose Green radio mast from Ozleworth. A top quality morning out.

Making the most of the September sunshine, on Sund

Making the most of the September sunshine, on Sunday two groups rode an undulating route to Tintern. We stopped to refuel at @thefillingstationcafe.tintern (who keep a track pump, tyre levers and spare inner tubes at the cafe just in case you need them!). Here’s hoping the good weather holds out a bit longer!

Here in Bath we are pretty fortunate to have some fantastic riding right on our doorstep. This Sunday a group of intrepid Walcotters, led by Jason Power, ventured over the Mendips to Burnham-on-Sea for Fish and Chips, returning via the world famous Cheddar Gorge. What a ride!

Blown away to meet @nick_hand today from @deptsmallworks in Bristol who rode his custom-made cargo bike with integral print machine TWICE up Dundry Hill to the @rapha_uk coffee van and then showed us how to print our own #doubledundry beer mats to mark the occasion. What a guy, what a day for a bike ride #bristolcycling #bathcycling #lifebehindbars #whereweride #milesofsmiles #stravacycling #cyclinglife #cyclingpics #sportivephotos #cycling #bicycle #bicycles #roadcycling #cyclingphotography #instacycling #igersbath #goodvibesandbikerides #morewomenonbikes #wymtm

On Sunday, despite it being one of the hottest day

On Sunday, despite it being one of the hottest days of the year five brave Walcotters took on the “Seven Hills of Bath”, a ride which was originally conceived in two parts for our lockdown series of Virtual Club Rides. Created by resident sadist Jason Powers, the route went up Lansdown, down Weston Lane, up Whiteway, down Wellsway, up Widcombe, down Brassknocker, up Winsley, a descent through Warleigh Wood and into Northend to head up Steway Lane, down Bannerdown then finally channeling Peter Gabriel with a last climb up Solsbury Hill 🥵
