Tuesday’s ride with be a Ridgeway ride, route to be decided, depending on the weather, but expect chalk n puddles. Therefore the distance and speed will be wound in a little, as conditions may be tricky.
Circa 20k distance and over 2 1/2 hours.
All welcome, no one left behind.
You will need a helmet and lights – we will be out after dark.
Meet in the Bayberry Car Park at 7pm
The exactly route will be determined by the weather and ability of those who turn up, but roughly it will be 30km out over the Ridgeway and back to the Bayberry for post ride refreshments.
Meet in the car park at 7pm.
You will need a helmet and lights, as it’s dark before we return now.
A timely weekend session at Tidworth, not too long before the first of the Root1 races. There have been some nice looking changes to the race track itself (Sicknote), as well as some of the other tracks, so a good opportunity to check it out.
You need to be a R1de member (this is free, but needs to be done in advance) and it costs £7 on the day for admission at the bike park. Register at www.b1ke.co.uk
Meet by the new hut at 10am.
You will need a helmet (full face is a good idea if you have one).
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
