Social Rides - All Welcome!
Our popular series of shop based social rides has moved back to a fortnightly cycle as the autumn season gets into full swing. The route for the next social ride is shown below - it is a little more main road-ish in the first half than we would normally use, in order to allow any lingering frost to clear before hitting the back lanes.
January 30th - Ride cancelled due to ice - sorry!
Please bring your bike with mudguards fitted if you have them - the-clip on types work pretty well and with the mucky winter roads will help to protect other riders from the worst of your rear wheel as well as keeping you drier!
The rides set out at 10am on Saturdays and take around 2.5 hours, covering
30-35 miles on
quiet roads, starting and finishing at Epic Cycles, with free
tea/coffee and cake at the end.
The idea of our rides is
to combine a social outing with a bit of light training.
The pace is a bit steadier than on a standard club ride, but
isn't a dawdle either, and the length makes for a decent workout
but still gets you back in time for lunch. And no-one will
be left behind. The route for the next ride is shown below.
If you fancy coming along, just turn up at the shop and we will introduce you to the ride leader. Some
riders drive out and take it from there, as we have plenty of
parking, while others ride out and incorporate the social side
into a longer training ride of their own. The choice is
yours...
