Handing over website control to the capable hands of our very own Paul Talbot. Good luck Paul!!
Paul Talbot reports:
A truly amazing TT! PBs all round and Nick only missed out by 7s. Greg recorded the third fastest time for the last 3 years – all bets are off for who will beat the course record. However, performance of the evening must go to Chris who beat his PB by over 8 minutes…
Thanks to Anne, Gerry, Elaine, James and Brian for helping out. I’ve uploaded the photos I took to Yahoo Groups and James will be adding some more!
Cheers

On a scorching Sunday yesterday, fifteen riders in two groups left the station for superb outings in the spectacular countryside north of Glossop. The ‘fast’ group took in the hills and dales of the West Riding of Yorkshire, up to Barkisland via Holme Moss, Meltham, Slaithwaite and Scammonden (route taken here). The leisure group descended on Holmfirth in a pincer movement! A great day to be out. Pics in the Gallery.
Six keen riders turned out for last night’s ‘hiding or riding’: Paul Talbot, Colin, Andy, Dan, Ben and Paul Johnson . A challenging, fast, hilly ride in good company, with a lovely steep climb on wet cobblestones. Mmm mmm. The usual quips about Dan needing a lighter bike – all donations considered:)

Photo gallery now installed. Please send high quality pics from ride outs and previous adventures to admin at glossopkindervelo.co.uk (replacing the ‘at’ with @). Thanks!
Club races info added, plus club rides info with many links to Paul’s Bikemap routes (thanks for these, Paul). Space created for race & summer TT results archive (I just need the numbers from whoever keeps them please), and for this year’s summer TT series. Will set to work on photo gallery when I have a decent stock of images to upload.
Cheers

Welcome to the new GKV website! This is a work in progress as the web team get to grips with the new hosting package and content management software, but feel free to have a poke around and make yourself at home!
Initial work has concentrated on just getting the site up and running with some basic info and contact details. Next comes the fun bit of developing a nice aesthetic look to the website in snazzy GKV team colours and filling it with lots of useful info and attractive content. This might take a while, so bear with us while we play around with a few formats to see what works best.
Any suggestions for features you would like to see on the new website would be welcome. We are working on a photo gallery, routes database (for inspiration for ride leaders), info about our favourite places (cafes, hills (Paul), bikeshops) and links to websites with useful info about maintenance, non-club rides and events, etc. Lots of good stuff basically but if there’s something you think we might have missed, please leave a comment or email admin@glossopkindervelo.co.uk
Cheers, Dan
