Meet like-minded people
|
It may be getting chilly here in the UK but there are still plenty of group rides and coaching session being organised. We know it can get hard to motivate yourself when the days are getting shorter, darker and colder but if there's a gang meeting up and raring to go it's amazing how much easier getting out a toasty warm bed can be. Let's face it, once you're on the bike it's great, and the thought of getting cold or wet is much worse than the reality.
With that in mind we've put together a list of group rides, we hope to see you at one soon and also that you'll let us know if you hear of any other rides or training sessions in your area.
