We’re holding a ride and advice session to get you on your bike in 2020. The aim is to get you going with mountain biking, offering advice, answering questions and leading you on an introductory ride.
We will meet in the car park for the Croft trail opposite Nationwide HQ, which will be our base.
To start we will do a bike check with everyone – show you how to check your own bike and be on hand to sort any mechanical issues (where possible!).
Then we will have a quick session on your bike setup – basically help you to be as comfortable as possible on your bike. The more comfortable you are, the more you will enjoy it!
After that we will go for a ride. We have a nice local loop using towpaths, cycling paths (both dirt and tarmac) with gentle inclines, no longer than 10km, which will take in some great views and local parks – showcasing what’s on offer on our doorsteps.
When we return to Croft we will show you what ride leaders carry in their riding packs and there will be a chance to ask questions – what’s good wet weather gear, lights etc.
After all that, if anyone is still keen, we can show you Croft trail you 🙂
We will have at least 2 fully qualified ride leaders on hand at all times.
You MUST bring a helmet to ride in, but otherwise just bring yourself and a bike (the route is suitable for any MTB and even a hybrid with offload tyres).
Meet in Croft car park for 10.30am.
