31st December 2021 : Annual Statistics

About this time of year, I publish the ride statistics for our club rides - be they "leisure", "moderate" or "brisk".  Despite a second year of Covid restrictions, we managed 60% more rides and 80% more miles ridden than last year

Once again, there was an array of ride leaders and blog writers which is always good to see. In all, fourteen budding novelists offered to write up their ride recollections. However, just four bloggers accounted for 66% of the write-ups.

Once again, we must thank Dave H for his guidance and leadership during this second Covid year. Not an easy job given Omicron entering the mix with Wales still insistent on doing it’s own thing, which was often different from England.

Despite all these difficulties, we have managed to enjoy the best attributes of club cycling throughout the year. We wish Matt a speedy recovery from his accident and hope to see him back on two wheels soon.

Hopefully, the coming year will be a “back to near normality” for us all in cycling and in our family lives.

BTW: If any rider wants to have a copy of any (or all) of the route gpx files ridden over the last few years, then just contact Steve T who has them safely stored away in annual folders.
