Tuesday Night Ride @ The Bayberry

The winter fun continues, but now with either one or two rides out from The Bayberry up onto the byways and bridleways of the Ridgeway.

We will either run a short and a long ride, or a combined medium ride, depending on riders present. This week’s ride(s) will be led by Lindsay for the short route, and Dave for the long ride. *if there are enough riders for 2 rides, we will do a combined Medium length ride

– The short ride will be a distance of approximately 25km / 15 miles and a moderate amount of climb of 200-300m. This is a blue/blue ride.

– The long ride will be a distance of approximately 35km / 20 miles and a larger amount of climb of 400-500m. This is a red/red ride.

– Or a medium ride somewhere in between.

We always aim to be back for 9.30pm

Nights have most definitely drawn in and are cold, so bring good lights, weather-appropriate clothing and a jacket. Helmets are compulsory.

Chips £1 for plain or £1.25 for cheesy, for a shared snack portion.

We are heading to BPW for a big club ride to celebrate a number of birthdays in the club!! We want as many of you to come along and join us as possible.
There will hopefully be a mixture of abilities coming so we can split up into groups to do a variety of graded rides from blues to blacks!
A huge gathering at lunch will set us up for an afternoon of yet more trail fun!
You can either choose to do pay as you go uplifts or buy a day’s uplift pass (see BPW website for details)
Please note….. Helmets are compulsory at BikePark Wales and Full face helmets are advisable.
Meet outside the cafe at 10am.

Wednesdays GetintoMTB @ Croft Cycle Trail
Wednesday rides are back with a new format.

The evening will be split into two parts:

6-6.45pm will be a Croft trail ride, laps of the trail (when it gets lighter we will also be sessioning some of the features)

6.45-8.15pm will be a local, fairly flat route, less than 10km in total.
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU INTEND ONLY ATTENDING THE 6.45PM RIDE, so that we know to wait for you, as we leave promptly.

These rides are part of our GetintoMTB series, designed for anyone just starting mountain biking, coming back after a break or just wanting a shorter, flatter ride 😊

Helmets are compulsory and you will also need lights at the moment.

Meet in the Croft car park for both rides
