This weekend’s rides

It’s Fri-yaaayyyy!!!!!
Got lots of club activities for you:

  • Saturday – Davinia is leading a Breeze ride (ladies only) from Mouldon Hill along route 45 old railway line to Cerney and back
  • Sunday – we’re at the Forest of Dean with mixed and Ladies groups. We will be doing a bit of skills work as part of the Swinley preparations, using a bit of Freeminers and the skills areas, as well as at least one Verderers lap and some downhill runs too.
  • Tuesday – we’re off to Bike Park Wales! This is a PAYG trip, so don’t worry about not having booked – we will be using the pay as you go uplift and maybe 1 pedal up if people are feeling like it.

Happy Trails 🚵‍♀️

New Tuesday night ride

We’ve a new regular week night ride starting up – each Tuesday and the first will be from Coate Water to Marlborough along the old railway line.

Led by our chairman Joe, it’s a good one for putting some miles under your belt for not much effect, as the surface is good and largely flat .

See more details on the event page here.

Busy week of events

Lots of new things going on this week with Swindon MTB Enthusiasts!

  • Wednesday night (13th) at 6.30pm we’ve got something new – a beginners ride from Waitrose in Wichelstowe. It’s a nice gentle 6 mile loop on the old railway line, taking in Croft on the way back.
  • Thursday night (14th) at 6.30pm again, John’s Thursday social ride is going from the Sun Inn at Coate off to Marlborough for dinner and back.
  • Sunday 17th we will be at the Swindon Cycling Festival at the County Ground Athletics Track. There’s masses of cycling related things going on and we will have a club stall there, with competitions, prizes and info on the club and our rides. Starts at 10am
  • Oh and some of us are also off to Bike Park Wales on Sunday, to try not to break ourselves on the new A470!

Hope to see you at one of these great events
