Easy Ride to Piece 14 02 16
Our St Valentine’s Day ride managed to conjure up some uncharacteristically dry weather for our Easy Ride to Piece. Christine arrived to see us off before returning home to witness England showing the Italians how it’s done on the rugby pitch which left eight of us heading off from the Piazza around 10 o’clock, to tackle a lung bursting Harris Hill and across the mainin road to Penweathers. Arriving at Penweathers, we had our first and thankfully only puncture which gave us all a breather until Roz’s bike was back in service. Moving on to Helston Water, Bissoe and Cusgarne, along through Trehaddle , up the hill and down to Gwennap. Up the hill again at Gwennap and across the main road at Burncoose Up Badger Hill and left fork to Trethellan Water. At Penhalvean we took a direct route to Four Lanes. All in all a steady climb to the highest point of the county before crossing over the road and on for about a mile to arrive at The Countryman in Piece for a well earned lunch. The Landlord, forewarned of our arrival, proved very accommodating and we were spoilt for choice with the lunchtime menu. Niq was especially pleased to receive a generous helping of his signature dish of cheesy chips and a giant mug of coffee! After lunch, we made our way out to the car park to find that whilst indoors, we had had a shower of rain, the only one on the ride! Niq then made his way to Godrevy, Ian worked out his best way home to St Mawgan and the rest of us made our way towards Lanner and Carharrack where we split to make our respective ways home. Participants: Hugh Bryson (RL) Paul & Roz Delderfield, Ian Cook, John Flowers, Jude Lawrence, Peter Hargreaves, Niq Carter-Rowe Advertisements

I was surprised to see anybody at all at the meeting point but two new riders and one of them a Junior? A long time since that happened! We headed into the wind and things kept staying that way. Up Pydar street for the Idless turning to follow NCN32 to Rod’s Corner. This gave us […]
