This month we had a double header weekend taking into two Welsh away days, our members could choose to attend one, or both rides. Day one was to Llandegla and day two was to Antur Stiniog. Details on more club trips and away days to follow very soon.
Cracking weather in Surrey Hills today for another Club Members only ride! A short turn out with a few last minute cancellations, and a fair few members put off by the distance! The Surrey Hills is well worth the distance in the car though, cracking trails, cracking views and wow did we mention that weather.....!?
Hello again Malvern Hills! A small turn out again with the distance and the weather forecast, but Jez kindly organised and led another club members ride to the Malvern Hills. If you have not been before do keep an eye peeled for our next Malvern's adventure as there are some cracking views, amazing trails and good cake to be found...
Our Members were spoilt with superb weather and amazing trail conditions in Cannock Chase (Staffordshire) on another cracking ride kindly organised and led by Club Member Steve Attwood!
Club Member SteveA kindly took to the trails again and led three other Club Members around a sticky winter-esque Chiltern Hills route starting and finishing in Watlington. More Club Members rides being added to the calendar all the time, please keep an eye out for our next upcoming rides!
A BucksMTB Club ride first, with a cheeky January trip out to the Surrey Hills. The ride was kindly organised and led by Club member, Steve Attwood. A top singletrack route around the Surrey Hills enjoyed by all.
Our last XC Open Group Ride was held in and around Ivinghoe, taking in a picturesque snow covered Chiltern Hills. We had seven people out on the ride; we were surprised on such a good turn out as the weather was very bad as it snowed all the way round. An Open Ride wouldn't be an Open Ride had a few mechanicals along the way the temperature dropped further so there was a lot of very cold riders so we stopped for a break at the Bluebell Cafe to warm up. Further along we had to split the group up to assist one of the riders as he was struggling a bit. Minus some pretty snow covered views it wasn’t the best day to go riding but we were surprised how many turned up, we were really glad our contingency plans worked. Thank you to everyone who came along and we hope to see you all again soon.
The last of our three rides on Sunday 12th November was our Club Members ride at Watlington. After a few last minute cancellations four riders braved the chill and mud but enjoyed a fantastic Chiltern Hills loop in the sunshine. A club ride isn't complete without a cafe visit which was of course completed! A big thank you to club member SteveA for organising and leading the ride.
