I am bringing back a ride that was popular when we first started the group up! A night ride to marlborough and back 🙂 A ride that is open to all levels of riders and is great for beginners!
The meeting place will be the cafe at coute water country park, 19:00pm (next to the diving board).
Please ensure you wear a helmet! No helmet, then no ride with us unfortunately! As many of you are aware, its also getting dark early now, so come with some lights that are up to the job, as it’s very dark without street lighting.
Please also bring refreshments and fluids with you, as I can’t guarantee that there will be a pub or shop stop.
Oh and wrap up warm!
Hope to see you there 🙂
We have arranged an Intermediate Level ladies only course with the fabulous Katy Curd on Thursday 22nd June.
There are 5 places on the course, which consists of 3 hours of tuition with World Champion & world class coach, Katy Curd.
The cost is £60 per person, which can be paid in cash on the day or by bank transfer in advance.
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!
Place marker for your diaries for a chiltern away day, led by Robert Wine.
This will be a ride around some of the best of the Chilterns taking in Wormsley Estate (Getty owned), quaint villages like Turville, and nice, wooded singletrack. Nothing technical, but a good mix of up and down (repeat several times), a bit of Tarmac, trees, roots, horses, mud.
It’ll be about 35km/700m and when it’s dry it’s got lots of fast flowing paths; if it’s wet, well, we may just change the plan a bit.
This is an all abilities everyone welcome ride around Swindon’s Cycle paths and park land.
You can expect around 17-21 miles at a social pace.
This ride is graded as BLUE/BLUE
Appropriate clothing, lid and lights are essential.
Hope to see you out.
