Fancy a relaxed pootle through the Pines with a bunch of likeminded riders?
The Sunday Social is a great introduction ride, but caters for all levels of ability, and ideal for sussing out what this mountain bike lark is all about.
This is a nice easy paced ride, covering around 15 miles (it sounds a lot, but it isn't really, not with the tea stop in the middle!) and taking around 3 hours. There'll be plenty of pauses between sections to make sure everyone is good, no-one is left behind, and you can tackle each bit at your own pace.
For the more seasoned riders, we'll take on each section at a pace to suit your ability, so if you want to give it a thrash and blast down the trail, you can - we'll just meet up again at the end before heading off as a group to the next bit.
The ride starts off outside Sherwood Pines Cycles, and then we'll head out into the forest, taking in parts of the blue and red routes, some unmarked 'off-piste' stuff and then off out of the Pines into the surrounding countryside.
It's pretty likely we'll get lost as some point, because I have no sense of direction, but we'll find a cafe somewhere for a cold drink and an ice cream.
Bring some change for the cafe stop, and join us at what3words location; ///manicured.condensed.enigma
(a.k.a. the bench outside Sherwood Pines Cycles).
Non-members can join us for "3 try before you join" rides. If you are a lapsed member or have had your 3 rides then you need to join/rejoin before you book your place on this ride. For up to date info on your membership status please click the message button and get in touch.
Note: This is an 'off road' ride, so a helmet is mandatory, as well as a mountain bike in good working order.
This ride is not suitable for children under 14 due to the distance. Children under 16 are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the ride.
Any questions, pop them in the chat below and we'll answer them
