I ride for Gosforth!
Plenty of people on CX bikes. Ideal for the lovely roads of the north east. Not ridden my summer bike since October so I’m on a mix of single speed and CX until next Wednesday when I’m doing the Barnesbury 10. You’ll be welcome on pretty much anything on Saturday. We’ve had hybrids and all sorts.
Gosforth are fairly relaxed about most things so just turn up introduce yourself and ride safely and you’ll be welcome. Pace is fairly sedate on Saturday. Normally splits and the “fast group” does a few extra miles. Pace of that can vary depending on whose involved but normally a manageable 18-20mph for 5-10 miles extra.
Not out for a while on the road, got other plans. Might be the bank holiday before I do a weekend road ride.
Few of us race CX through the winter – I pretend not to take it seriously… If you are interested shout up on the GRC forum.
I mainly prefer the offroad stuff and ride with Midaircrisis.
