We will host a Beginner Session for those of you new to cycling as a sport or perhaps just not previously tried group riding. We will have a chat about your cycling experience and we will try to explain the various calls and signals used. We will do some practice rides on some of the quieter roads in the park. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding bikes, kit or equipment.
Please note, these sessions are not formal training sessions and are not provided as such. They are more general conversations and passing on tips and experience we have.
