Its no secret that both Paul and I have developed a real enthusiasm for the writings of Mr Charles Chadwick, I still find the early writings of the then seventeen year old Charlie hard to believe, the fact that it started almost a century ago only adding to the sense of amazement. Todays ride was …

Pot of gold…

A month or so ago I stumbled upon a genuine pot of gold! I didn't follow a rainbow, nor did I have to journey (Indiana Jones style) to any far flung exotic location. Charlie Chadwick is a name I was already vaguely familiar with. As a member of the 'Rough Stuff Fellowship' I was aware …

On August 5, 2017August 5, 2017 By grassupthemiddleLeave a comment

I’m an academic (Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow) working on antiquarian forgery. As with any academic, work may seem easy, particularly given I don’t have a teaching workload, though it never leaves you alone: there is always the next book and essay/article to write; volume of collected essays to edit; conference paper to propose and/or …

I am a pro cyclist…

On August 1, 2017 By grassupthemiddleLeave a comment

The sunday service will be a simple slow sociable ride across the cheshire tundra to the bench, meeting at 830am at the Riverbank Cafe, riding for 9 and home by 12, all welcome a pleasant ride out to the bench for some sunshine didn’t disappoint, those warm rays of sunshine felt so good today In need of something to look forward to ? well check this out… It’s pretty grim out there at the moment, but still, short rides are better than no rides despite the grot ! The Sunday ride will be out to Rostherne Church, meeting at the benches at Stretford at 830am, the trails are wet and muddy so dress accordingly, around about thirty miles at a sociable pace, all welcome In search of the holy grail, it started a few years ago, a bunch of bike nerds with a shared love of slow rides down back country lanes and good coffee, local rides mixed with an occasional weekend away, lots of smiles, a fair few miles, friends new and old dropping in and out, lots of words and photos for the blog, fingers crossed for more of the same in 23 Grassupthemiddle’s first ride of 2023 ! Meeting at the Riverbank cafe at 830am on Sunday 1st January, the ride will be out across the Cheshire tundra, about twenty miles at a sociable (hungover) pace, all welcome A year in rides and coffee pt2 A year in rides and coffee pt1
