Richmondshire District Council, with the help
of local volunteers, is hoping to set up a new cycling club for the
beginner cyclist.
There are usually groups to be seen out and
about on the roads wearing Lycra tights and funny shaped helmets,
but for the majority of us, just getting onto our long unused bike
and venturing a mile up the road can be a daunting prospect.
The group will be based in the
Richmond/Catterick area and not only will there be volunteers to
get each ride started, but there will also be loan bikes to be
borrowed if your own has rusted away with neglect! Looking
for an April launch, we would very much like to hear from you if
you would like to be part of this new social cycling group.
The priorities are obviously an improvement in fitness levels but
just as importantly, an enjoyment in the local countryside,
increased confidence on a bike and with a refreshment stop on each
ride, the chance to make new friends.
