A year ago today relaxing and refuelling after Bike Bath! So looking forward to riding together as a club again at some point in the future 😔🤞🏽 .

Posted @withregram • @iconiccyclingevents Happy memories of this time last year. A thousand cyclists joined us at #bikebath . Take a look at this year’s Bike Bath Medal Rides now published on the website @veloclubwalcot @bathbid @bath_rec @bathmarches @bathlifemag @somerset_live

Stalwart member @mattybvelo should be sad because his entire autumn winter season of cyclo-cross racing has been shelved but NO it’s ‘steady as she goes’ racking up the miles on the Virtual Club Rides and displaying that famous Stiff Upper Lip and styling it out as ever #allezallezallez

Our ‘rides’ leader Jason Power here has been championing the cause of the
@what3words app so that cyclists in the back of beyond can precisely locate themselves or others in an emergency. And it works, as we discovered this week.

We’re now up to week 9 of our Virtual Club Rides

We’re now up to week 9 of our Virtual Club Rides where each Friday our Jason has posted a short and sometimes easy, sometimes tortuous route ride leader style for us all to follow and then each post some kind of interpretation of a solo selfie on our chat group. One thing these courses have in common though is that they all take in lanes that we often never use because we’re usually so busy bypassing them on the way to ride further afield. The single most frequent comment being, “I’ve lived here x years and had NO IDEA that was there...” You can read up on ‘Flattening the Curve with VC Walcot’ on our website - link in bio - and check out the gallery of weeks 1-7 so far of our silly selfies. Keep riding your bikes everyone.

Are we depressed? No, we are not. Because we’ve been riding our bikes - OK, for shorter distances than usual and all on our Jack Jones but you know what we’ve discovered? That there are amazing hidden lanes and spectacular views that hardly anyone ever sees all within five miles of where we live. Why? Because they’re so close to home. We’re normally challenging ourselves to ride ever-further and faster whereas sometimes the best gems are virtually on our doorstep. Link in bio for what we’ve been up to... 📷@pmbr34556 •

We think we’re such finely-honed and serious athletes but seriously what about having to go running and swimming all in the same day, too? The Bath Amphibians exist just to stop us taking ourselves and our shiny bikes too seriously. LOVE you guys! •

We’re onto our second week of solo Virtual Club

We’re onto our second week of solo Virtual Club Rides now where we follow a Strava route avoiding the busy spots and post a selfie just for fun. Everyone is saying how riding short routes close to home and super carefully means you really get to enjoy the scenery. Plus some great weather has helped with the smiles. Aren’t we lucky where we live, though?

Proving what we know deep in our hearts; that there are really only two groups of cyclists in the world. Those who wear our green, white and pink and them that wish with every fibre of their being that they could wear with pride the sacred colours. Come in out of the cold and welcome @sargentoni, inducted by @strachmcc, fine and noble work by @condorcycles

We're sorry to see your original Acciaio go following a crash but this scheme is 👌🏻. #condorcycles #acciaio #condorcustom

We made a Virtual Club Ride on Strava so Velo Club

We made a Virtual Club Ride on Strava so Velo Club Walcot members could ride the same short route solo but together in spirit. So this first week is via every Bathonian cyclist’s favourite beauty spot, Great Chalfield Manor, a safe 20 mile loop that can be knocked off whenever it suits. So far about 30 or so members have posted their cheesy smiles from there with some even taking home-made cake to complete the Club Ride experience. We’re grinning madly in the face of all this but thinking about our friends working under pressure at the RUH and elsewhere ❤️

Thanks to @anneloesh "Here we go
On this roller coaster life we know
With those crazy highs and real deep lows
I really don't know why
And I will go
To the farthest place on earth I know
I can travel all the road, you see
'Cause I know you're there with me" Roller Coaster, Danny Vera #bestforestmood #oerdrenthe #cycling #mtb #mtblife #noorderland #forestphotography #ig_shotz_trees #mtbtrail #raw_alltrees #the_mirror_of_our_souls #tree_captures #forest_inlife #brilliant_forest #sombrescapes #nature_worldwide_trees #welovetreesandwoods #worldwide_tree #enchantedforest #enchanting_forest #tree_brilliance #tree_magic #bpa_nature_ #raw_members #hugs_for_trees #mountainbiketrails #splendid_trees #splendid_woodlands #raw_allnature

I’m sure it won’t come as a surprise for you to read that we’re suspending all our group rides from now, following today’s official guidance. Of course, you can still ride your bike and by keeping everyone posted on here and on Strava about what you’ve been up to on your solo rides and with the usual banter we might keep each other cheerful. This will pass and we can appreciate our group rides again, at least the weather is getting better, eh? •

Storm Jorge can f*** right off. After Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis nothing was stopping us today. Even managed to go racing in two different time trials as well as the usual groups.
