Idle ride

This will be a series of 3 steady rides suitable for beginners or people returning to cycling so they will be keept at a nice steady pace and we always keep together so no one gets left behind. The rides will take place on alternate Thursday mornings and adding 3 mile extra on each ride . We will be starting and finishing at the west Retford hotel where those who wish can have a cuppa, snack and chat afterwards. As we leave the west Retford we will make our way to Idle Valley taking in some of the trails around the lake area although we have a section of road (there is a cycle lane) to and from the trails, once there the area around the lakes are traffic free. Our first ride will be around 6mile, the 2nd 9mile and the 3rd 12 mile. You will need a hybrid or mountain bike in working order, comfortable clothing layering is warmer than bulky jumpers, some warm socks and gloves as it's the feet and hands that tend to feel the cold waterproof jacket if you have one, some juice/water. I always wear a helmet but don't worry if you don't have one as they are advisable but not compulsory and maybe you could look into getting one for your next ride.  If you have any questions or need more info you can contact me at [email protected]
