Mud on a Monday

For those wanting a taste of some off-piste cycling, don’t forget there’s now a Monday evening not-for-road-bikes ride leaving Pitstone roundabout at 7pm.  This is beginner level “off-road”, roads, tracks, canal paths, nothing too testing – good lights essential this time of year!

Thursday Mud

If you would like a more testing off-road experience then there is local off-road group who depart from Pitstone Roundabout at 7:30pm each Thursday. If you plan to join them, please post your intentions on the Velos Rear Hub Facebook group.
