Wednesdays After Work at Croft @ Croft Cycle Trail | England | United Kingdom

Our usual Wednesday visit to Croft will incorporate some skills practice this week.

After a warm up lap, we will do a development lap. This will involve doing a lap of the trail stopping at certain obstacles to practice our skills: rock gardens, cornering & small jumps. There is also an option to practice drops if anyone fancies that too.
After that we will finish with a quick lap to blend all the practice together.

Meet in the car park at 5.45pm

You will need a helmet, but not lights.

Swinley Enduro Training @ Swinley Bike Hub

Swinley Enduro Training @ Swinley Bike Hub | United Kingdom
Swinley Enduro is rapidly approaching, so we’re going to do a full on training event.
 
We will follow last years course fully, stopping to have a look at some of the trickier bits along the way. Although this year’s course is secret and will have an additional stage, we’re pretty sure some of last year’s stages will be included again.
 
Meet outside the Swinley Bike Hub at 10am (so we can bug Tristan and try and get him to spill more of this year’s course details!)

Swinley Enduro Official Course Practice @ Swinley Forest
Sep 16 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Swinley Enduro Official Course Practice @ Swinley Forest | United Kingdom

With the race being on the Sunday, this is our last chance to practice for the Swinley Enduro.

The idea is to get as many of us club members as possible that are racing to go round together for some last minute practice.

We’re not sure of the course will be taped up by this point, so we’ll be riding our best guess at what it will be and practicing the awkward bits and sharing collective knowledge on line choices.

While this event is aimed at giving practice to those racing, everyone is welcome and you can see what you’re missing out on 😁

Wednesday After Work at Croft @ Croft Cycle Trail | England | United Kingdom
This a very relaxed ride, at an easy pace, with lots of opportunities to develop and practice skills. Everyone is welcome and this is a great introductory ride if you’re just starting or coming back to mountain biking.
 
This week we’re going to do some skills demonstrations and practice, using the features of the trail. We’ll cover the basics you’ll need for tackling technical terrain – front wheel lifts, unweighting the back well, climbing and descending safely.
 
You must bring a helmet, but you don’t need lights, yet.
Also thoroughly recommend insect repellent!
 
Meet in the Croft car park at 5.30pm for a 5.45pm start.

MTB Wellness Wednesday @ Bayberry
Jan 29 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
MTB Wellness Wednesday @ Bayberry
Wednesdays have always been a relaxed beginners ride and we’re continuing that in 2020, but specifically aiming at getting you going.
So this is the perfect ride if you are just starting, coming back to riding after a break or just want to go for a pedal to lift your spirits.
The ride theme is Wellness. There are main reasons to ride – fitness, physical and mental health – but they’re all about making yourself feel better and having fun 🙂
We will been doing a gentle pace and there will be lots of opportunities for having a chat and asking about anything MTB related. I am a MIAS Level 3 Ride Leader and skills coach and am always happy to answer any questions – if I don’t know the answer, I’ll know who to ask 🙂
Rides will be about 10km and fairly flat. Nothing technical, mainly using cycle paths (especially in the winter weather!). Perfect for all abilities.
All you need is a helmet and bike (and at this time of year, lights as well).
Meet in the Bayberry car park for 6pm start.
