Tidworth had to rearrange their opening weekend, so we’ve done the same with our first club trip there.
A bunch of us have enter the excellent Root1 Round 1 race, which uses Sicknote as the course, so we will definitely be practicing that, along with 99 Beeches – a new trail that will be used for Round 2.
And we’ll also be trying the other excellent trails there of course.
Don’t forget, entry to Tidworth cost £7 for the day and you will need to sign up for a B1ke (free) membership in advance.
Meet in the car park/finish area at 10am
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
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.
