Next Sunday 23rd
September 2012 is the Nomads' first family and newcomers ride.
These “mini-club
runs” are designed for those new to cycling or experienced cyclists who
want to bring friends and family along. Especially welcome are
accompanied children, women, commuters wanting to get a little more
from their cycling and anyone wanting to find out more about the Nomads.
The
rides will be on dedicated easy cycle trails, or very quiet roads
suitable for all types of cycle. The first ride will be about 9 miles
in all, although there will be short cuts for those finding it a bit
challenging and a longer loop for those who want more! There will be a
coffee break somewhere in the middle of the ride.
Club Chairman, Nick Senechal commented:
"We have seen a lot more interest in the club following the success of Team GB in the Olympics and Paralympics. As a club we are always open to new members and this is an ideal way of capitalising on that. Existing club members have a wealth of knowledge and experience on what to ride, where and how to keep bikes in tip top shape. This is a great opportunity for people to come and have a go."
Meet
at the junction of Purwell Lane and Kingswood Avenue, Hitchin (access
to the Greenway) at 10:00 am.

We will be holding these rides on the penultimate Sunday of each month until further notice.
There is no charge for this event.
Riders should ensure that their bikes are in good working order and that they have a spare inner tube (just in case). The use of a hard shelled safety helmet is encouraged.
