"Family and Newcomers" ride - 21/10/12

Next Sunday 21st October 2012, is our next 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.

This ride will be on quiet roads and a little bit of flat non-technical off-road, suitable for all types of cycle.  The ride will be about 7 miles around Charlton and Preston with the intention to meet up with the rest of the Hitchin Nomads at their annual club hill climb near Charlton at 11:30 (all adults and accompanied children are welcome to ride as well). Afterwards we will head to The Windmill pub in Charlton for refreshments.

There will be a few hills, but we have plenty of time to get up them, even if some have to walk…
