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. Due to the number of riders attending we may split into 3 or 4 rides of varying speed/difficulty. We aim to be back to the BLC/GY by 9.00 although this may vary depending on punctures, mishaps etc!! We ride the local trails, Canford Heath, Upton Heath, Lytchett Matravers, Delph Woods and as far as Badbury Rings. This will involve great single track, some flowing downhills and maybe some technical sections.
