A return to Wales with the Strawberry Hill Velo crew. 3 days in the lanes around Brecon and the Black Mountains complete with White Castle vineyard visit, pond swim and post ride beers at the Antur micro brewery. All very civilised of course.

Three great days of cycling concluded. Hilly, sunny (mostly), cakey and with a few beers for good measure. 25% is a tad steep though and can lead to wheelspin if you’re not careful

We go again! Strawberry Hill Velo embark on a 3 day Tour de mid-Wales to ride up and down hills, eat cake and wear super stylish Lycra. Let’s go!!

4 days of cycling, 9,500 metres of climbing, fast descents, stunning views, famous cols conquered, wine, beer and of course lots of cake consumed, the Strawberry Hill Velo Tour of the Pyrenees was a great success. Next stop? The Mighty Box Hill! Next year? Who knows where....

With the Pyrenees coming up in September it’s going to require some proper training if we’re going to take on the mountains in true SHV fashion, i.e. slowly and fuelled by cake, so today we got back to it. 50 miles done and the obligatory coffee and cake. And one big hangover in one case.

The Strawberry Hill Velo Tour de Brecon continues. Sun, rain, climbs, descents, a lot of pedalling and, of course, a few beers.

Preparation continues for the upcoming hilly Tour de Brecon…. with a flat ride out to Windsor. Club motto should be: Never Overtrain!

If Strawberry Hill Velo had any rides planned they'd probably be cancelled. As you were, folks.

Back to the Surrey Hills for SHV today. Plenty of headwinds. And all those PRs on the way back were a reflection of hard training finally paying off. Fact

A fine performance by the club at the Tour of Cambridgeshire 100 miler. It can get pretty windy on The Fens but at least it’s flat compared to the mountains of Strawberry Hill.

The SHV crew braved blustery winds and Barhatch Road on a ToC training ride. Follow the Strawberry. Slowly.
