For the blog post this week, something a little different. A game of Fact or Fiction!
One or more of the following are untrue.
‘I was texting Barnie’ – John’s reply when asked what he was doing with his phone in his hand whilst having a wee.
‘I left at 5.15 to get to the pike in time’ – Mr Chairman’s epic journey before the ride began
‘I saw it on the radio’ – Rog explaining a funny story about Donald Trump
Answers on a postcard.
Noggins month-long birthday celebrations continue with a quick lap round Cwmcarn!

Footage of this year’s ski tour. Make sure you watch it in HD and full screen!
Now the Wheelers venture high and low, but the weekend of 7th January 2011, we went real low, I mean low. By Polopidar demand we ventured onto, or should it be into the second part of the infamous Golf Course route. Now I don’t mind getting muddy, but going through slime, quick-sand, red mud up to your water bottle is not fun. 2 members went down with Trench Foot, not seen in New Inn since the First World War. Punctures were had by the tube load, broken chains and other mechanicals were thick and fast. But in the true spirirt of the Wheelers, not one person grumbled?
Anyway, with the mud washed off the bikes, the teddies back in the pram, we look forward to further adventures.
On the Trench Foot, Dan is down to four hot footbaths a day and Terry has got four teddies keeping his feet warm. Need we say more?

Click the following links for the videos!
Two hours of pushing a bike up a hill followed by and hour pushing it back down again!
And my brakes were binding. That’s why I was last all night.
On another note, here is this week’s competition. Can you tell what’s missing from the following photographs?
That’s correct! Rhidian can’t be seen in either image.
A new year for the Uskvale Wheelers and it kicks off with the return of the website. Here are a couple of photographs from the christmas ride. The Cappos are noticably absent from the last two photographs as they formed a splinter group. The ‘easy’ route that they chose was easier on the legs apprently, even though it involved traversing streams, rivers, mountains, bogs and Blaenavon.
Our Vice Chairman and new Website Editor will be adding more content very soon.

Dangerous had this text last night from a disgruntled Wheelee. No names will be mentioned.
‘Press reports Uskvale Wheelers to go through major re-branding exercise and be renamed ‘Every man for himself Wheelers’ an inside source says its been coming for a long time we had to come out of the closet sooner or later. All Wheelers 2 be issued with maps and compass.’
UPDATE
As part of the re-branding, Terry’s famous motto of “never leave a wheeler behind” needs to be brought up to date accordingly to possibly, “I might see you later drive, that’s if you’re lucky”
UPDATE 2
New meeting place and time – Goytre Arms for the goytre ‘keep it secret’ Wheelers!!
@5.45pm
Yet another memorable night for the Uskvale Wheelers on the mountain. The Mighty Atom Mahoney and Phil ‘Keep Going’ Bounds were the headliners in reaching the top of a hill, miserably failed by some of our top riders. WELL DONE ‘THE ATOM’ AND ‘KEEP GOING’.
Paul Tiler Timbrell made a massive jump and was quoted as saying ‘That’s the best jump I’ ve ever had’. No quote yet from Mrs Timbrell.
The Cappo’s had another success when The Atom and the upstart Terraway Tel swept down a hill when others stood by and cheered.
Poor old Dangerous Dave failed this one because he was ‘taking photos’ (yawn yawn).
Some poor mechanical preparation by our overseas contingent (you all know who he is) who’s mind was no doubt on another dream he was preparing for some unsuspecting poor sod.
The Dogger was in fine form and no doubt is showing signs of being a dirty old man in view of his explicit interest of pleasures of the ****y.
Gigolo Jay was in dire trouble when a pubic hair became lodged in his tooth. The owner is being sought via a letter in the ARGUS, The Times, The Observer and The Daily Telegraph.
STANDING BY for more stories from the Wheelers.
The Editor.
A quick post this morning with details of the annual summer 100 mile ride. It will be held on the 17th September.
Yanto has asked that this year, we raise money for The JDRF – Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
His daughter suffers from diabetes and this charity has helped them immensely.
Sponsor forms will be with us shortly and we can start collecting well in advance.
