Noah’s Ark are holding their spring demo day on Saturday 2nd April.
There will be demo bikes available from Specialized, Cannondale, Whyte and Transition – for a full list of bikes currently available see the Noah’s Ark website page.
Food and drink and will also available also on the day.
Leaving the Jovial Monk at 7pm, we will head out for an approx 15 / 20 mile ride. Route will depend on today’s weather.
Ride will end at the Jovial Monk for chip butties.
Lights and helmet required.
Matt Wadsworth will be guiding a cross country ride from Watlington car park (OX49 5AB), all welcome.
Great XC route, steady pace (I’ll be having a good crack at the climbs though) no one left behind. The more the merrier. Hope you can join us.
Matt will be leading this club ride around the quantocks on the 23rd July.
Ride distance will be approx 28km with climbing in the region of 800m so a reasonable level of stamina will be required, but we’ll all stay together and obviously no one’s left behind.
This really is a great day out on the bike, great descents, with views and scenary to match, a lovely place to ride. There is a pub nr the car park for post ride refreshment. The ride is doable on a hardtail, but more fun on a full suss.
There are no shops or cafes on route so a rucksack with food and water is a must, as is a helmet.
The ride starts from Holford bowling green car park TA5 1SA at 10am
Up through Wroughton and over Hackpen. Ruts to Rockley. Half 4 mile, Ogbournes to either Seathe’s Ridge or Gypsy Lane (time and legs dependent) Ladder Lane back to the Bayberry.
We will change the route if the weather turns out bad, but waterproof jacket is very strongly advised anyway – it’s not exactly been predictable recently.
You will need a helmet and lights too.
Keeping an eye on the weather and ground conditions. Heading out onto the Downs, possibly via Kings/Clouts Wood for some messing about. Expect around 500m of climbing and 30k over 2.5 hours (think Verderers x 2 without the exciting descents). Lights, lids and Jackets!
