Last week’s floods caused AVP’s regular Wednesday cyclists to pause for a moment of doubt before plunging into water which had already caused cars and land rovers to be abandoned near Whitford.

Seaton Town Crier visits AVP |
|
|
|
Monday, 19 March 2012 00:00 |
We were honoured by a visit from Seaton's Town Crier David Craner at the Grizzly Grizfest on Saturday March 10th.
Against his better judgement he was persuaded to try his luck on Chequer's exercise bike in the competition for the fastest speed - but he was easily beaten by Beer schoolboy Jack Fitzgerald who achieved an amazing 60 kph.
David is in fact a bit of a cyclist himself and has been out with the AVP, but not in his robes. He is pictured with Brenda, Barley and Handbag.

Granny Anning Makes Rare Public Appearance |
|

Tuesday, 06 March 2012 00:00 |
Granny Anning is seldom seen in public, last time she was spotted was at the 2010 Christmas fancy dress party when she won the award for Best Dressed Man. She will be making another rare appearance this weekend when she takes part in the Axe Valley Runners' 2012 Grizzly run.
As many can testify, completing the grueling cross country route is no mean feat so you can imagine the task Granny faces as she attempst to run the treacherous route in her finest tweed skirt, quilted jacket, and wrinkily tights!
Granny has decided to run this year's Grizzly to raise money for the Exeter Leukemia Fund so please show you support by sponsoring her http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserPage.action?userUrl=garyanning and if you see her out on the course this Sunday give her a massive cheer.
For those of you who don't recognise Granny she is the alter ego of Gary Anning A.K.A. our very own Moley.
Best of luck Granny!

Summer's Coming |

Wednesday, 18 April 2012 00:00 |
Axe valley cyclists have been digging out their bikes from the back of the shed and making plans for Summer 2012. The mountain bikers are going to Chamonix and the racers are going to climb Mont Ventoux – one of the hardest climbs in the Tour de France – in a few weeks time.
Closer to home, the ‘Friday Flyers’ are going to ride the cycle path from Studland to Poole – one of the flattest rides in Dorset. Meanwhile Thursday evening rides are building up with the lighter evenings and there are now 3 different rides for cyclists of different abilities, all ending at the pub. Come to the Kings Arms, Fore Street at 630pm if you want to join a ride.

AVP Enjoy 7th French Cycle Tour |
|
|
|
Monday, 19 March 2012 00:00 |
This year St Malo was the destination for twelve enthusiastic AVP cyclists, including two tandems, on our annual French foray.
After a sociable evening and birthday celebration for one of our party, we enjoyed a perfectly calm overnight crossing from Portsmouth arriving to dry, mild weather. We disembarked and had a short, leisurely ride with perfect views of the old walled town to which we were heading for breakfast. Having parked our bikes, we then enjoyed our first taste of coffee, croissants and omelettes looking out over the square and the historic ramparts of the town.
