Posted by Beverley Wright | Friday, October 20, 2017 - 4:16pm

Come one! come all!

We will be riding out to Woodend park from Firemen's park for a 15k beginner mountian bike ride (roadie equivalent: 40kish).

Scott will be also doing some coaching if you are new to the sport to help you get oriented to the dirty side of life - It's a great way to stay fit through the winter.

Scott will have an spare size small mountian bike on hand for anyone who does not have a bike to use.

Come on out and have some fun this fall!!!

Scott May is our leader on this ride and can be contacted via faceboook or refer to the members list.

Fall Fifty

It's Nate's Fault!

Nate's trying to play spoiler on tomorrow's rides, but we're one step ahead of him! Rain is forecast to end late Monday morning, so we'll re-schedule our 9:00 am rides to start at 1:00 pm Monday afternoon. It's our last officially scheduled ride after all, we have to get it in right? Anyway come at 1:00 pm, we'll ride for 2 hours or so and then gather in the park for an end of season tailgate. Hope to see those of you who have already had the chance to indulge in your turkey this weekend and come join us!
