BJW 75M Reliability Ride

by

59 riders signed in on a grey and cold Sunday morning to tackle the BJW 75M Reliability Ride.

Anticlockwise direction this year via Cranborne, Coombe Bissett along the Chalke Valley to Shaftesbury. Back to Merley over the steeper side of Okeford Hill then Blandford and Cowgrove.

Although cold the wind was light and 58 riders signed back in before the time limit.

Bacon Butties and Cake tasted good after the post Christmas workout.

See you again for the 100M (with a 100km option) on Sun 3rd February. Note first riders leave at 0800 for the 100M ride.

Christmas Cranborne!

by

Seven riders met in Cranborne for a social MTB around the Cranborne Chase. The emphasis on Social.

Starting off with a coffee in Kev’s shed we headed off onto the Chase…

A glorious clear day with plenty of mud!

We stopped off for a taste at Cranborne Chase Cider before finishing the ride with a pint at the Sixpenny Handley Brewery.

26 miles in total. A few more for those riders who rode to the start and back!

  

 

Social MTB Ride Friday 28th December

by

All welcome. Kev’s address will be on the BJW Members Facebook page, or drop us a line.



Reliability Series 18/19 – 100km

by

The 2018/19 BJW Reliability series continued today with the 100km. Early morning strong winds did not deter the 60 riders that signed in today.

A few showers in the first 20 miles didn’t dampen the spirits. Dunbury and East Creech climbs as tough as ever.

Post ride in the clubhouse £2 for a slice of cake and a cup of tea / coffee (with refills). What more could a tired rider ask for?

See you on Sun 6th Jan 2019 for the 75M!

Well done to all the finishers!

2018 Prize Presentation and Club Dinner

by

The Jubilee held their annual prize presentation at the Stocks Inn, Furzehill on Saturday 10th November. Honoring the Trophy winners and paying tribute to the unsung “backroom” members who work hard for the club.

Formed in 1935, the Jubilee year of King George V, it was the 83rd celebration for the Wheelers.

John Samways, Louisa Cooper, Andrew Cooper, Will Soloman, Phil Scriven, Tom Stocker, Martin Reeder, Nick Jones, Bob Richardson, Paul Brown, Tim Smith, Julian Snook & Clive Peskett were among the award winners.

Long standing member Jacky Prosser was presented with a bouquet of flowers in recognition of her service to the club.

A big pat on the back must go to social secretary Kevin Ridge who, once again organised the very successful event.

Reliability Series 2018/19 – Fifty in Four

by

There hasn’t been rain at the start of a Reliability Ride like today’s 50 since probably the infamous 75M back in 2014.

Numbers unsurprisingly down on last year’s colder and dryer 50 – however 70 weather hardy riders signed on for the first of the Jubilee’s 2018/19 Reliability Ride series.

The format of the rides hasn’t changed much in recent memory, but there was a new look to the ‘backroom’ staff. Our former cake makers and bakers Aimee and Matt are busy making a family. So we had club members old and new helping out with the sign on and the teas.

Maybe it was the weather keeping people inside HQ, or something else? But the pre-ride atmosphere was spot on – with banter and chat flowing between members and guests.

As for the ride – it was wet.

Post ride – the cake just as legendary.

70 riders signed on, 64 riders signed back in within the time limit.

Thanks to Reliability Organiser Kev Ridge.
Sign on volunteers Simon and Dave
Associate Member sign on volunteers Peter Warhurst and Mike Woodgate
Mike Walsh for handing out UK Cycling swag and taking photos on the course
Last but not least Bruce and Maggie for serving the tea and cake.

See you all on the 9th December for the 100KM.

Important – Club TT 9th July

by

Because tomorrow’s P304 25M TT was a potential clash with an NFCC event we have decided to join forces and have an ‘interclub’ event with NFCC.

NFCC are hosting / marshalling this event. Sign on at the main car park in Ringwood – from 1800 for a 1900 start.
