Blue/red intro

We will use the Blue Minor Thur trail and also bits of the Dragons Back (red). You need to be able to ride a bike.
If you ride an E-bike you are of course welcome, however, the leaders don't ride e-bikes and we wont be chasing you up hills! :-) So please do have some patience for the leaders and those who don't ride e-bikes. If you think you might be waiting around at tops of hill, please come dressed warm - there will be however, an opportunity or two to loop back around and replay the fab downhill you have just done!

If you have ridden blue before, then this is an introduction to the red routes. we will use the red sections that are great to cross from blue to red.

All roads will be off road - no road riding, we will be crossing very quiet country lanes but your bike should be suitable for rough lanes and off road gravel.

We stop regularly - to chat and catch up - but no specific stops allocated.

Bring: Helmets (NOT optional) Gloves (ideal - because its off road) Warm layers - Spare and in your bag Snacks - you might need a bit more sugar on the ride to keep you going. tools - if you have them, dont worry if you dont! Knee pads and elbow pads - Completely optional! Good riding shoes - good tread on any shoe - MTB riding shoes need good tread, if you dont have riding shoes then trainers with good grip ands lugs would be ideal. A working bike.

We never leave anyone behind
