Last week we had our first intergenerational group bike ride and fun was had by all! I think going forward it might be more useful for folk if we decide on a route in advance so that people can decide if that suits them or not. Don’t worry though we will make sure that different trips are of different lengths and difficulty so everyone can get involved!
Who would be interested in a ride next month? Maybe on the last Friday of the month. What distance do you think you would like to ride? Hilly or not too much? If I know who’s interested I can plan a route accordingly.
Saturday saw our second Dr Bike event, which has been very successful. Given the terrible weather forecast, I didn’t know whether anyone would show up, but 6 people braved the rain and came to fix their bikes anyway and we were busy from start to close! Any feedback on how we can improve these sessions is very welcome!
The e-bike hires have been going very well, with the record for the biggest number of miles cycled in a month being recently broken by Marion MacArthur with a whopping 308.1 miles! We should come up with some kind of prize for that! Also, head’s up to everyone, for the first time since the beginning of the project, there is nobody on the waiting list to hire a bike! This means there will be several e-bike available to hire from next month, so send me an email if you are interested. Priority will be given as ever to folk who haven’t had a go yet, but do get in touch even if it’s not your first time!
Happy pedalling!
