Great Chatwell Weekend by Mike Hessey

What a wonderful weekend we had at Blymhill Common, and that area. I'm moderately local, though it is on my upper limit for cycling there and back in the day; I don't think I have ever been there and not got lost in the maze of local lanes, so I was quite pleased when our ride leader on Friday pm (a local) got lost too! It all makes it more interesting, so no hard feelings Frank. On Sunday we went to Cosford (almost half way home for me). A most enjoyable day in quite flat countryside (after what I am used to). Sunday I thought I would have to ride home, but thanks to the kindness of David Little I was able to enjoy the brilliant ride to Norbury Junction, and he took me home by car afterwards (I could not have gone to Norbury and back home in the day on the Trice at my age/fitness). A big thank you to everyone involved in the organisation of the event, and to Chris from ICE for attending and showing us a lot of very interesting equipment. I hope there will be future events of this kind. Mike

Great Chatwell Trice Event

This event took place over the weekend of 19/20 September 2009 at Great Chatwell on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border. I guess 18/20 riders attended, all on Trice of various kinds. Having driven from Falmouth, ICE designer Chris Parker was there with his young son (his son was riding an unused XLNT Custom Trice). Byegad took some excellent video of the rides...these can be found here

I had a very enjoyable weekend and look forward this being the first of many more. A nice event with nice people and great weather! What more could you want? Thank you Irene and Trevor...
