Social Rides
Our cycle rides programme is on hold.
Cycle Malvern was doing about one leisure ride a month alternating between Sunday mornings and Saturday afternoons.
Social cycling so far
We’ve been out on Sunday 30th September (2007), from Malvern Link train station to The Fold in Bransford for coffee/tea and cakes, total of less than 12 miles, half a dozen people on this.
Saturday 27th October was from Colwall train station at about 2pm, approx. 15 miles with culture stops at Coddington Church and Cradley village hall – 7 on this.
Sunday 25th November, 10.30 outside Prospect View in Pickersleigh Road for 15 miler to Clives Fruit Farm near Upton for late elevenses (was going to be early lunch!) and back – half dozen turned out.
Bike Week 2008 evening ride to the pub at Lulsley, just missing a badger crossing the road on the way back!

Jon – you’ll have seen the same email as me today – hill climb confirmed for 25th May. I have no info on VC Sevale – I don’t do racing – but links for their website and other rides are on MalvernTrail: http://www.malverntrail.co.uk/bikevent.htm

Hey,

The ‘Sir Edward Elgar Bicycle Challenge’ starts at 10.30, going until 3pm (unless they run out of entrants I guess). Fastest time last year was 17 seconds, but it might have been slightly shorter than your try-out. That sounds a bit too serious to me – can be taken as a bit of fun too.
Categories, under 10, 10 to 12, 13-16. 17-39, 40-59 and 60+ (and I’d also guess male/female).
