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 [url= http://www.bogtrotters.org/rideslist.php ]here[/url], 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?

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....

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

sorry bout that - it will feature again in the Spring.

LOL [b]Grum[/b], 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 🙁

However, unless Divagirl is particularly fetching my camera may settle more frequently on other newbies!

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 🙂

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 🙂
