    sitemap.xml - Alchemy Cycling Club
    https://alchemycycling.club/

    Included: the 6 canonical, indexable HTML pages of the site.
               Every page listed here is reachable from index.html through
               live, non-commented internal links.

    Excluded: index2 - old.html and "index - old taggbox insta feed.html"
               (duplicate copies of the homepage). Locally prefixed with
               "xxx " and not published to the server.

    Excluded: NH-article-archives.html. Historical New Horizons Cycling Club
               archive, from before the club merger. Outdated content,
               retired by the client 2026-09-30, and NOT published to the
               server. It is not disallowed in robots.txt - leaving it
               crawlable lets Google fetch the 404 and drop it from the
               index on its own.

    Excluded: ACC-photos-RoshneeTT-2021.html. Retired. The client could not
               recall why the homepage gallery block had been commented out,
               so the page was not republished. It was never linked from any
               live markup - the only reference was inside an HTML comment on
               index.html - so it carried no internal link equity.
               Removed from the server 2026-09-30; it now returns a genuine
               Apache 404, so Google will drop it from the index on its own.
               No redirect and no robots.txt block, both of which would only
               slow that down. Local copy still present, not yet marked "xxx".

    Excluded: PDF documents. These are downloadable resources, not pages.
               They remain crawlable via robots.txt and are linked from
               content pages, so they pass link equity normally.

    Excluded: the /NH-news-archives/ PDF archive. Individual rider diaries
               and race reports are not individual indexable documents.
