NOTE THE NEW VENUE FOR THE FIRST SPIN

From National Trails Day

We’re going to start our latest series of MTB beginners rides this weekend. Our first ride will be around Massey’s Wood – meeting at the Merry Ploughboy car park at 9:40am for a 10am start.

These spins are suitable for everyone – although a basic level of bike-fitness will really help. See the information on our Beginners Page for details on what to wear and bring. Helmets are compulsory for all riders – no exceptions under any circumstances.

Each week new riders will be guided around a different trail and shown how to deal with the obstacles they encounter. Experienced MAD riders provide advice on bike-setup and safety, necessary equipment and riding skills.

The rides are open to riders over 16 years of age. Riders under 18 must present a parental consent form to the club committee. Riders under 16 may attend on the condition that a parent also takes part and stays with the group at all times – please discuss this with the committee beforehand.
