Fortnightly Club Runs

 

As the weather is getting a lot colder and wetter, club rides will now be organised on a fortnightly basis until March next year. The club would like to thank everyone who has joined over the last couple of months and to those who have been on rides with us. We hope that by next Summer we will have a lot more members and as the club progresses we will be able to offer more rides and more variety. If anyone is aware of any good winter rides, tracks or trails, please feel free to drop me a line and I will look into it. Most of the ones we use are not great at this time of year, although, we will still be using them. contact us.

 

LATEST NEWS

Most of the rides have been a sucess and we hope this will continue and as we have a couple of new members the future looks bright. Welcome to Debbie who I met on a Skyride a few weeks ago and to John who I hope to meet soon.

TIPS

1. Get fitted for your bicycle. It’s worth it.

2. Pedal in lower gears, at higher revolutions.

3. Pedal in circles, don’t stomp.

4. Hydrate, and make sure to eat before and after rides.

5. Make sure you wear the right clothing during the winter.
