Local Bike ............. Group !

[Rimms]

Over a beer or two a couple of weeks back, some of the 3Cs committee came up with the idea of holding a weekly bike ride. It's been going for a couple of weeks now and is becoming really popular. We set off each Tuesday morning at 10.00am from the Eyna restaurant on Calis Prom. The ride is nice and gentle and generally follows a flat route. We stop half way and enjoy a nice lunch together. Last week we had 13 riders, you can be a serious biker and push on or a Sunday cyclist and just take it nice and slow, the route will cater for all.

Next Tuesday we are going on a picnic, bring a packed lunch and maybe a beer or glass of wine or two. We will have Ali from Doga Bicycles with us should anyone require running repairs.

If you fancy a nice day out with some fresh air good company and a bit of exercise then you are welcome to join us. It's free and a good laugh is guaranteed.

I'd be up for that if it goes on through out the season George

Anne, It's not my project but I'm sure it's going to be a long term venture, we went last week and it was brilliant, can't wait for Tuesday

I've had a great idea sent to me, " Why don't we raise the money to buy a couple of bikes which CBF members could book and use while over here" it would be especially good for anyone coming on holiday who would like to join in on our Tuesday bike ride.

I thought we might get Ali from the bike shop to look after the bikes and keep the diary.

What do you think ? 

[Scunner]

I think it's a great idea  

It wouldn't cost a great deal and we could surely dream up a stupid/entertaining way of raising it - then members (or indeed anyone) over on holiday could hire the bikes for a set fee, with the possibility of an organised bike ride thrown in. Better to pay a local good cause to hire a bike than a company, surely.

Two bikes, the gift that keeps giving

Also a great idea for people (like me) who would like to give the ride a try, to make sure it's enjoyable (don't fancy the numb bum etc) before investing in a bike.
