Each week we ride different trails with different leaders with the emphasis on FUN. We like singletrack, downhills and technically challenging routes often away from the local area - something new and something different whilst remembering that it’s Mountain Bikes that we ride, whether eMTBs or Acoustic, so we like hills! We are a very friendly and inclusive group and newcomers are always made welcome. Details of each week’s ride will be posted on the Club’s Facebook page a few days before.
***NOTE THE CAR PARK IS NO LONGER FREE AFTER 6PM!*** Meet at Broadstone Leisure Centre car park at 6.30pm for a sociable ride of around 12-18 miles in about 2 1/2 hours.
