Category: Easier Cycle Group

Nine cyclists set off for a ride to Newstead Abbey on what may be the hottest day so far this summer. One advantage of cycling is the pleasant breeze to keep us cool, but the supercyclists on manual bikes may disagree after they reach the top of an incline. The electric squad have it much easier.

We cycled off road up the bypass and along the track to Newstead till it became too overgrown.

We sat outside at the Abbey cafe with several treats to spoil the benefits of our exercise: Coffee, tea, ice-cream, and 2 birthday people brought cookies and chocolates. It was suggested the name be changed to cafe group with cycling. But it’s all about enjoying the outing.

We split into 2 groups for the return journey, some retracing their tyre tracks, and some checking the state of the Linby trail after heavy rain had washed all the gravel to the middle of the path and rain had hollowed it out. As the sides had dried out it wasn’t too bad.

Thanks to our leader Angela.

If you like the idea of a gentle bike ride, join us at 9.30 every Friday morning at The Leisure Centre. Refreshments optional.

We meet at Hucknall Leisure centre at 9.30 am on Friday mornings. We are a friendly group who look forward to a gentle ride of no more than ten miles when the weather is fit. We ride to one of our favourite coffee stops, have a drink and a chat and then ride home.

Please come and join us if you would like to ease back into cycling or indeed if you want to take up cycling for the first time. We have fun, don’t take it all too seriously and have made some new friends as well.
