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.
