Upcoming Rides

 

So, I want to note a couple on new rides. The first is the ‘Wednesday Sandgate Cruise’, a gentle 50 km spin where chatting and riding is the go,..and there is no busting ourselves to get there, and when you get home you will feel great. This could become the new normal as “Joy trumps Speed”. Bruce Edge is as keen a mustard to get something happening in this space,..Please support Bruce and register to ride. It’s on Every Wednesday but the route may differ each ride. The next one can be found athttps://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4002&club_id=738657&item_id=2017395

 

The next one I see, is the ‘Samford Pony Trails’ down for Saturday week the 8th Julyhttps://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4002&club_id=738657&item_id=2018267 This is a afternoon mountain bike ride on easy trails, gentle pace, absolutelygreat for members who are not overlyconfident but keen to experience the beauty of Samford trails. I promise you,..you will love the experience,..I did.

 

The next one I’d love to do except I’m a wee bit caught up in the wineries of Bordeaux,..but don’t worry about me,...you won’t if you register for Ian Chant's the BVRT supported three day ride the full length of the trail, https://bbta.org/content.aspx?page_id=4002&club_id=738657&item_id=2011148&event_date_id=229148...Oh,..only 3 spots left,..so be quick.Thank you Ian, as this is a Premier ride.
