As of this Tuesday, there will be an easier social ride on Tuesday evenings to complement the fast ride that takes place that night.
On Thursday evenings, there will be a beginners’ mountain bike ride, a social ride (i.e. moderate), and a faster ride.
If you want to know more about any of these rides, contact Debbie (at the shop or by text). Enjoy!
EDIT: Here’s Debbie’s report of the first of the new Thursday rides, on 29th July.
Well the “13″ rode tonight! , a really keen and enthusiastic group. Everyone was a little reserved at first. I took them on a fairly flat route of single track and more single track. Keith got his entry in for the prize of best un-authorized dismount. Cathy managed to fall in the only smelly puddle in the forest, tho i did make them ride that section twice just to make sure it got someone! Alan, Brendon’s dad made us realize where Brendon got his skill from, clearly ready for Matt’s intermediate group, as is Richard”sugar puff”(sorry Richard!) Phil”the taxi” breezed through it all,very nice to see him back out! Chris, one of the Sunday family riders cheerfully attacked everything, even “the ditch” Another one Matt may try to poach from “The 13″ Lizzy glided easily over everything, only hugging one tree! Mike C beamed all the way round, clearly enjoying riding with wife Deb, who managed to miss Cathy’s smelly puddle, getting faster as the ride went on.Yvonne decided to let the entire population of midges in the forrest eat her so we weren’t bothered, thanks! She also rode over every hazard i warned about, a star in the making ! By the end of the ride the group were starting to get to know one another, there was plenty of laughter, and hopefully some sound friendships formed. So to those who missed tonight’s ride, i hope to see you next week, holidays and work permitting. Finally a big thank you to Lorraine and Pete who rode along with us to make sure i didn’t loose anyone, get us lost,(only a little bit!) and make it back to THE PUB ! And as it was the Anvil ,CHIPS!!!!!!!!

A great response so far. Matt led last night’s social ride, even had people traveling from Spain ! Our fame is clearly spreading! So far about 20 people have expressed an interest in Thursday eve’s beginners ride. Will let you know how it goes! The beginners ride starts at 6.15pm at Sawdon Village Hall.
Blimey! Thats great that so many people are interested in the beginners ride. Hope it all goes well and the sun shines brightly. I will be time keeping for the roadie lot.
