Rebellion!
Tuesday 14th October
Destination: The Rebellion Brewery, Marlow
LEGC Personnel: Club founders, Messrs Dunn and Davis
After a showery afternoon the rain cleared for a pleasant ride into Marlow along the B482. The road was damp, but no standing water. Leaving at 7.30pm, the ride was in darkness, although vision was aided by a very bright moon and our Cateye lamps. Fluorescent jackets were also worn. The Rebellion Brewery, based in Marlow holds club nights in which you can sample all their beers. LEGC favourites were: Secret Agent (a seasonal ale with a light flowery scent and a delicate flavour) and the more robust Red. Find out more about this fantastic local brewery at www.rebellionbeer.co.uk.
The ride back was never going to be easy because of the steep gradient back to Lane End. We decided to take the gentler climb of the Frieth Road, which passes the Royal Oak in Bovingdon Green. The climb was not unduly strenuous and we made Lane End by 11ish.
Welcome to the Lane End Gentlemen’s Cycling Club
We are a free-to-join organisation based in the village of Lane End, Buckinghamshire. Our aims are to encourage and promote fellowship and health within our community, based around two of life’s greatest pleasures: cycling and fine ales. Indeed, it was felt that the combination of these two diversions (in moderation, of course), would appeal to like-minded sybarites as far afield as the neighbouring hamlet of Wheeler End.
Visit our blog for regular updates on forthcoming rides, details of previous events and members’ news, plus details of the wondrous LEGC merchandise that is in the pipeline.
Please feel free to leave any witty bon mots, jokes and anecdotes that you feel our members may enjoy. Although – careful – some of our members are not in the Zenith of health, and racier comments may send their hearts beating faster than a steep climb up Bullock’s Farm Lane after three pints in West Wycombe.
