Next Thursday

I will be away on holiday for the week, but hope that some of you will meet up at the park for a ride. I plan to run the road saftey and technique session the week of my return. So please let me know if you are able to come. (rhian_wood@yahoo.com, or mobile: 07990707318).

Also,
How does everyone feel about meeting slightly earlier as the nights are beginning to get noticably darker? Say 6.30 or 7pm...or somewhere in between? Just a thought, again, let me know your feelings on this one!

Last Night

As just the two of use turned up we decided to go slightly further afield. We drove up to the Lairhillock with bikes on the car and then did a 4.1 mile circuit around undlating single track roads which involved one big descent and then of course one big ascent. We started from the small lochan at Eastside near Stranog Hill and initially headed south (circuit marked in red)

10% off at Alpine Bikes for us girlies!

I'v managed to wangle an ever present 10% off at Alpine Bikes, Aberdeen for us girlies!

it's on: all clothing, parts, accessories and labour, but not sale goods or bikes though unfortunately.

One stipulation being you present your 'membership card' at the shop when buying and I need a list of everyones name so they can check up on us....it's worth it though! will get everyones names etc tonight and will make some cards to bring along tonight also!

Tonight

If anyone has started looking at this yet...

Tonight I want to run through some road safety stuff, that we will then put to the test on a short ride. Just the basics or anything that you are not comfortable with we will tackle head on the in the comfort of Duthie Park! so....roundabouts, traffic, where to position yourself on the road, what to wear and anything else you want to know about.

See you tonight,

Rhian

Last Weeks Ride - Thursday 16th July 2009

Six ladies met up last week to embark on a bike ride along the dismantled railway from Duthie Park. We cycled to the Cults Hotel for a drink and a chat and then cycled back through clouds of flies.

Round trip total 8 miles.
