Pre-Christmas Social Rides

Hi All – just a quick update on the social rides that we have coming up this side of Christmas.  After a great turnout at the first ride last Saturday, we are back in the (roughly) fortnightly cycle of regular rides from the shop.  We will be trying to provide a bit of variety in the rides so will be changing the ride leader around a bit so that they don’t all end up being too hilly (i.e. if led by me!).  The next few dates are:

  • 31st October – Ride leader:  Dave Powell
  • 21st November (a 3 week gap!)
  • 5th December
  • 19th December – but this one is a BIG social ride.

The big social ride on 19th December will be a mini-sportive, called the Winter Warmer, similar to the Spring Challenge.  It will be fully sign posted and longer than the normal social rides at 40-45 miles, with hot soup, roll, tea, cake etc at the end.  It will be run in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust and will cost £6 to enter, with a 100 rider limit (restricted by parking limitations – won’t be able to use the field as it will be too soft).  All details and a link to the entry system (on-line only) are on the shop’s home page (http://www.epic-cycles.co.uk).

    I had a good eneter the other day, sorted me out no end.

    Great to see the Epic social rides are back on. Thoroughly enjoyed the first one and looking forward to this Saturday.
