Wednesday Night Rides (Welton-Hull area)

[FluffyChicken]

Start of the new year and hoping to continue our excellent Wednesday night efforts of 2013

But First for the year is a Thursday for anyone not following the Facebook group

So
Thursday 2nd January
7:00pm usual place in Welton. (White Phone box)
You'll need Lights and a Helmet, probably warm clothing and maybe waterproofs.
Chances are you'll get muddy.
Chances are pace will be slow to middling. Or at least we'll go as slow as anyone needs and change route as we go along.
Distance 10 to 12 miles seems standard.

If you're late... chances are well still be stood chatting
Pub afterwards when we get back, usually sometime after 9:00pm

Not been on one before, come along ask questions, give it a try.
We started as a couple of us and gained new riders at an alarming rate. I think we got to 15 or so riders at one point, some whom are in hibernation for a bit
Old bike, news bike. We hope to turn you to some reliable old bikes too.

These "on" or off road? might be interested in turning up when the weather gets a bit better!!!

Re: 2014 - Night Rides (Welton-Hull area)

These are Off-Road, normally. Though with winter we've added a bit of road but only back streets to get to some off road.

To be honest it's turn up and decide then.

I think we hope to venture out to other areas when the weather gets better, but that depends on the ohter riders.


Looks like this Wednesday is going to start in the rain, get heavier and then finish in the rain. There is one advantage though, the bikes are not as muddy as they could be.

Lights are almost getting to be needed and probably best to bring incase of punctures and stuff which normally hold us up.

Nice steady route over the bridge into North Lincs is the planned route.

Re:

Tomorrows evening ride will be starting at 7pm in Welton, HU15 1PE will get you there.

The ride is approx 12-15 miles long depending on what time we have and will involve some climbing and a nice mixture of fast singletrack through some lovely woodland, doubletrack and quiet country lanes.

We will be back in time for a pint at the Green Dragon if you would like to join us
