Gateway Cycling’s annual New Years’ Day Ride
Gateway Cycling’s annual New Years’ Day Ride will be going ahead again… starting the new year in the perfect way – feet on the pedals and sat in the saddle… Meet at 10.00 Blackshots Leisure Centre, Blackshots Lane, Grays RM16 2JU – near the steps. SATURDAY 1st January 2022 We’ve ridden this route many times, heading out towards the RSPB centre café at Purfleet for coffee, cake and our usual jolly festive chat. It’s along dedicated cycle ways, quite flat, a slow and easy pace for families and the less experienced rider… The route will take in the Mardyke Valley and Davy Down, only if it’s not too muddy… on to Watts Wood and the Purfleet RSPB centre. Here a choice to pedal on further for a circuit along side the marsh … Read entire article »

Wednesday Ride this week
Eleven riders assembled at Orsett this morning for usual midweek ride,this included Brian a newcomer for his first ride with us. Two more riders plus Vic and Peter joined us at the cafe.

Rather windy but otherwise not bad conditions considering it’s now December and home leg was done at a brisk pace with a mainly following wind.Brian seemed to enjoy his first ride with us and will be coming again which is good news as I think he will fit in perfectly.Crackup corner was safely negotiated today.😇 … Read entire article »

Gateway Cycling AGM 2021 – 8th October 7:30pm.
Five Reasons for going to the Gateway Cycling AGM on Friday 8th. October at 7.30pm. Because; There’s free pizza. We need to be quorate (that means enough members turn up) otherwise there will have to be another one and so on until enough people do turn up. Turning up does not mean you’ll end up on the committee if you don’t want to. Terry. Honest. To be honest however, the club does need some members to step up to the pedal to take on some of the posts, most pressingly, Treasurer. There’s free tea, coffee and some cake (that I overbought last meeting and it will still be in date). If I can work out how to add a link to this you can see the accounts, agenda etc. online so you can fall asleep at the … Read entire article »
