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...
