Some thoughts...
Daz says...Following a chat with Ric & Tony following some off road stuff on this weeks club run, we discussed the possibility of doing some very light off road rides this winter, the idea is to make things a little more interesting and sociable, pub stop etc. Nothing too challenging, canal tow paths, middlewood way, cheshire cycle lanes, and so on.
Normal road bikes, maybe just have a set of 25 hybrid tyres in the shed for these rides, about £25 quid on ebay, if you want, not essential!!??
Tony pointed out it would be good if we could start these rides a little earlier maybe 9am all meeting at one place.
Ric said we should try and plan one of these rides per month, one route planned by one rider, and that rider will lead the ride on that day.
I've started to plan mine which will be starting in Poynton, middlewood way to Mac, jump onto Mac Canal tow path upto the back of Congleton (Longer than it sounds), then cheshire cycle route to Alderley, then more cross country to the finish at the Unicorn. Doing recon ride soon if anyone fancies it??
Any thoughts? |
