Night Ride to Marborough @ Coate Water
Nov 8 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Night Ride to Marborough @ Coate Water | England | United Kingdom

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 🙂

Lydiard Park Family Picnic @ Lydiard Park

We would like to invite everyone and their families to celebrate the start of the summer.

We will meet at the children’s play area at 11am, find a good picnic spot nearby and enjoy some family time, playing games such as rounders, football, frisbee and anything else we can find in the shed!!!! We will be close to the play area, cafe, toilets and most importantly the ice cream parlour!!!

Bringing bikes is optional. We will be there to take small groups around the outside of the park, if required.

Most importantly we want everyone to come together to have some family fun.
Don’t forget to bring a picnic and a picnic blanket and/or chairs to sit on.

MTB Wellness Wednesday @ The Bayberry
Feb 5 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
MTB Wellness Wednesday @ The 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.
