If you would like to go out for a gentle, sedate and clean ride then please don’t join the Monday morning off-road group ride.
On most Mondays, in all weather but excluding 50mph winds, we will be out exploring off-road trails around our fantastic locality. We are lucky enough to have mud, puddles, slippery uphills, mud, challenging downhills, off-camber rooty tracks, forest singletracks; did I mention mud, all locally available.
We generally start from somewhere in Seaford. A very friendly group, we have dedicated ebike-only rides that zip along at a reasonable pace, or a more sedate combined manual/ebike ride for those wanting a shorter ride at a more relaxed pace.
Both groups tackle similar terrain, with a café stop midway, normally at the same location. So, if it’s off-road riding you want, we deliver.
The photos below show how dry and dusty (not) recent outings have been. We offer the opportunity to ride your shiny bike through the terrain it was designed for.
We even managed to scrub up relatively clean for our recent Christmas lunch although many of us didn’t recognise each other when not in cycling ‘apparel’ and were quite surprised at how some of us are quite follically challenged. We are under the impression we are still teenagers (in heart, at least).
Maybe see you out on the trails.
