EasyRide

We have started a new regular BUG ride. You should notice on the Calendar page and in Cycling Central an entry that reads like this:-

Every Thursday -EasyRide 13-20 km; Slow pace; Mostly off-road cyclepaths/possibly some on road with light traffic. Contact: John 6655 4898. Meet 7:30 at Howard Street (racecourse). Very easy flat ride for inexperienced cyclists on Hogbin Drive Cycleway with optional extra distance for those wanting to do more.

You are probably aware that there are new cyclists around that need to build up their confidence and their strength on flat easy rides as they find our first Sunday of the month rides a little difficult.

So the Midweek EasyRide is designed to cater for them. The basic ride is just up and back on the Hogbin Drive Cycleway. For those who want a little more they can do some "add-on" bits before, during or after. We have discovered that the coffee is good at the university too!

So please come along if you can and nurture these riders and support the ride leaders. If we have enough leaders we can maintain this as a weekly ride. The ride will usually finish by 9am including coffee. Sometimes riders may then decide they want to do more -if they haven't got to rush off to work!

If you know any new riders who could join us encourage them to do so.
Tell them they will soon get the bug with the BUG!

These rides have been going well for five weeks now with usually 5-6 riders each time. The ride is usually tailored to suit whoever turns up. Another chance to both socialise and keep your fitness up. Come and join us if you can.
