One of the silliest things I ever did was allow my membership of the NewForce Mountain Bike Club to lapse! A new year and they’re an important part of my Club Ride Resolution.
Today’s ride used the Stockbridge SplashMap for a 3 hour mud-fest. The ride attracted at least 25 riders and the team quickly sorted us by ability and led us out in 3 different directions.
Why ride with a club? We all need a break for the norm. Hard work is no excuse! And the people that you meet become warm friends or fascinating new connections with a mutual taste for sog and slog. A big factor is that the safety in numbers means you can ride later, longer and stretch your skills further.
