Off-Road Novices Ride May 2017 CANCELLED

Sat 13 May 2017 - 10:00am to 1:30pm

Sorry to cancel this ride at the last minute, but I have been very sick today.  Please let me know if you wanted to come and I will rearrange it on another date.  Robin

Off-road on the Ridgeway

A return of the well-received special ride for those beginning or wanting to learn a bit more about off-roading. It starts with a ‘teach in’ and ends with a short but pleasant ride.

We’ll start at my house with a bike check, and check out tyre pressures and suspension settings. (There should be enough car parking on my drive).

Second we’ll do a 2 mile loop up Steventon Hill and back down, which provides a chance to learn the key off-road skills for climbing, descending and going down singletrack in the woods like a Jedi.

Third, for those who would like to, we’ll ride a 10-mile loop up to The Ridgeway and back to sample a bigger climb and a bigger descent and put all those skills into practice. I will adjust this to suit the group on the day.
