Thursday Night Social Bikes and Butties Ride @ Jovial Monk
Jul 28 @ 7:00 pm – 9:45 pm

Every Thursday night there is a social ride out from the Jovial Monk pub in St Andrews Ridge. The ride is between 16-20 miles, depending on that week’s ride, but always at a pace to suit all those that attend.

After the ride there’s chip butties on offer for £2 a pop – well you’ll have earned them by that point!

Helmet’s a must. Lights also still required at this time of year, but if you don’t have any drop us an email or message – we’ve normally got a spare set knocking around for the evening.

Swinley Enduro @ Swinley Bike Hub
Sep 4 @ 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Swinley Enduro @ Swinley Bike Hub | United Kingdom

This is a nice relaxed fun race over 20km round Swinley Forest on the edge of Bracknell. It’s an Enduro race, with 7 timed downhill stages that are timed, but a more relaxed pace transferring between them. Should be great fun for all and a great opportunity for first time racers.

We have a number of club members of all abilities, men and ladies, taking part, so why not come join us?

Weather looks good this week, so come along to Croft and have a cycle with us.

As well as doing a few laps, there is a nice beginners loop we can do from Croft, with only gentle uphill and 3.5 and 7 mile options which we’re happy to do if there’s demand for it.

Davinia will also be there if anyone wants to do Ladies only groups.

Lake District MTB Weekend @ Dovedale, Lake District
Sep 9 – Sep 12 all-day

Weekend riding in the Lake District, with guided rides and bunkhouse accommodation.

There are 6 places + if we get 6 more, we can make it 12, due to guided rides having to be in blocks of 6 in a group.

The cost is £165 for accommodation, trail guide and parking. We will split transport costs, but all other additional costs are down to each individual.

The full itinerary can be found here – it looks like a truly great weekend.

You can use the button below to pay for the trip – we do need people to pay in advance for this trip.

Scream if you want to go Fodder! @ Pedalabikeaway, Coleford, Forest of Dean
Sep 17 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Scream if you want to go Fodder! @ Pedalabikeaway, Coleford, Forest of Dean | Cannop | England | United Kingdom

We’re going back to the Forest of Dean, with a twist.
A few people have asked us about bringing their teenagers with them on rides and so we’ve put this together with you mind.

Verderers is rightly the showcase trail at FoD and is perfect for showing a competent rider what a great mountain bike trail has to offer (in a controlled manner!).

So the ride is open to all, including your children – we just ask that you accompany your kids on the ride. Verderers does have some reasonable climbs in it & is 7 miles long, so we would suggest a minimum age of 13, unless your child is particular fit and experienced (although ultimately it’s a public trail and your decision & responsibility).

We will have 2 ride leaders on the day (including our Welfare Officer Davinia), to show what you should do to check your bikes before you set off and show you the trail itself, as well as some of the slightly off route features along the way (such as the great little skills practice areas).

We will meet at the Pedalabikeaway cycle centre in Cannop Valley, which has excellent facilities and a great atmosphere – you’ll need £3.50 for parking for the day.

Everyone welcome, very suitable for beginners.
