Bike Park Wales PAYG @ Bike Park Wales
Aug 8 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Bike Park Wales PAYG @ Bike Park Wales | Abercanaid | United Kingdom

Bike Park Wales sells out 3 months in advance, but you can do pay as you go – pay £8 entry and then £4 an uplift. It’s a good way of getting a day there at short notice, especially early in the week when it’s quieter, so we’re going to do that as a club trip.

We’ve chosen Tuesday 8th August – just turn up at Bike Park Wales at 10am and we’ll spend the day doing pay as you go runs, or cycling up is an option too.

If you’ve never been to Bike Park Wales, you should! There are trails for everyone, from beginners to hardened downhillers and it has a fantasticly professional setup, with everything you could need on site. You can also check out our guide to Bike Park Wales here.

We will have mixed and ladies groups and some coaching on offer too.

Tuesday Ride - Whichever Way The Wind Blows @ The Bayberry, Wichelstowe | Swindon | England | United Kingdom

Meet in the car park at 7pm.

You will need a helmet and lights, as it’s dark before we return now.

Family Fun Ride – Wichelstowe Wander @ Waitrose, Wichelstowe
Aug 13 @ 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
Family Fun Ride - Wichelstowe Wander @ Waitrose, Wichelstowe | Wichelstowe | England | United Kingdom
For our second family ride, we’re going to Wichelstowe.
 
Starting at Waitrose, we go along the Southern flyer and up a bit of the old railway line, before descending to Wichelstowe, where there is a playground to take break. From there we head out to Croft, to do the final section of the trail (which is fairly flat), before heading back to Wichelstowe. We will go along the canal, round the lake and back up to Waitrose (& a cafe stop if desired).
 
Total route is 5.5 miles, or if 3.5 miles if you want to skip the Croft trip and stay at the playground. A great route combining cycle paths and off road riding.
 
The ride will be lead by our Welfare officer, Davinia, who is also a British Cycling qualified ride leader and Breeze champion.
 
Whilst on the ride your children must be accompanied and are your responsibility at all times.
 
Meet outside the front of Waitrose at 10am.

Swinley Enduro Training @ Swinley Bike Hub | United Kingdom
Swinley Enduro is rapidly approaching, so we’re going to do a full on training event.
 
We will follow last years course fully, stopping to have a look at some of the trickier bits along the way. Although this year’s course is secret and will have an additional stage, we’re pretty sure some of last year’s stages will be included again.
 
Meet outside the Swinley Bike Hub at 10am (so we can bug Tristan and try and get him to spill more of this year’s course details!)
