As a regular cyclist it is apparent we have more cyclists in the village than I realized. In addition there are people who would like to try cycling but don’t feel joining a local club is for them but may be interested in a social ride locally.

If this interests you, I would be happy to arrange some mid-week social rides from the village, which would include a café stop.

Don’t worry if you have not ridden before, or for some time, the aim of the rides will be to provide a supportive environment to get into cycling and the health benefits it brings. You don’t need to have the latest bike or kit, and I would be happy to help if people need some help getting their bikes ready for the rides. The idea would be to tailor the rides to those who sign up.

If you are interested then drop me a line at geoff@hankertonvelo.uk. If you are an existing cyclist, then give some idea of level to help co-ordinate things).
