sure, they’re open to all, on the understanding that you don’t complain if the newbies are too slow 🙂

You can check the rides here, and they’re every Saturday of the year. 2 Oct is Elterwater cave biking 🙂

Thanks Simon 🙂

What time do they start, driving up from South Liverpool, any beginner rides a bit further south coming up?

Do 2nd Oct Divagirl – it’s ace! 🙂

Looked like a nice, mixed ride in terms of terrain.

Was gonna ask about coming along to the cave biking ride you mention above sfb, but I’ll be doing the D2D….

s that Chorley on the right ?

Can’t quite make out if they have six toes from here 😆

I think it must be Preston, I can’t recall seeing any tower blocks near Chorley…

Its Preston.

LOL Grum, Thanks for the warning, omg ha ha!! No worries, I’ll be the slowest one at the back, plus he’d need a wide-angled lens 🙁

got that :o)
However, unless Divagirl is particularly fetching my camera may settle more frequently on other newbies!

These beginner rides look ideal for my girlfriend, but I play 11 a-side on saturdays! might bring here along soon though!

Diva girl, where abouts in liverpool? I’m in Crosby 🙂

Tim, I’m in Aigburth but from Freshfield originally, I know Crosby – ex Merchants’ gal !!
Haha Simon, I reckon I’ll be quite safe from yer lens, I’m hideous.

they’re very friendly, non competitive proper rides, just quite short and no pressure 🙂

I’m hideous.

me too – turns out it doesn’t matter 🙂

Freshfield & Merchants… Double posh hey! Know quite a few girls that went to Merchants from crosby, all in there late 20’s now mind!

Simon, What kind of distances we talking? its more the technical side I worry about for her…

distance 12..17 miles, depending. We do Garburn, Parkamoor, Dunnerdale etc, but no one minds if anyone gets off to push the rocky bits, though I might guide a raw beginner away from a few of the routes. In practice, people manage to ride most of the stuff and love it 🙂

still working on Escape Plan for this Saturday, Simon – will let you know soon I hope… 🙂

😉 I was wondering where the bottom photos were, then I found this 😉

oh and it turns out Divagirl isn’t as hideous as she claims 🙂

one does try to cater to all tastes :o)

That’s a pretty one on the left udnylad

Haha thanks Simon, don’t be papping my arse though. Good news, I have a pass out for this Saturday.
