Go Ride! - Hitchin Nomads, family, friends come and newcomers try it ride

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.
