Club rides are every Thursday evening and some weekends. The Thursday rides are either 'home' or 'away' rides. We will try to alternate between home and away rides each week.
Home rides: this is a local ride that can be ridden from the meeting point without needing car transport. Just turn up at the White Bear, Barrowford at 7pm and ride!
Away Rides: These are rides where we will meet up and then drive to the ride location to do the ride. This enables us to do some great rides within a 30 minute drive. The meeting point would normally be White Bear, Barrowford at 7pm. If you do not have transport, its a good idea to try and organise a lift with someone else before the ride.
We welcome new forum members, but only if you are in some way bike involved.
We get loads of requests from Chinese/similar applicants and those with Gmail accounts whose only interest is hacking the site for malicious reasons.
So before your application will be approved you need to convince us you are actually human and have a genuine interest in MTBing etc. To that end please contact service@wilkinsons.tv with details of who you are, who in the club you know etc.
