From October until the end of February, weekly rides will be at the Cycle Circuit at Harraby meeting on a Wednesday evening at 6.30pm. These coached sessions are suitable for all skill levels and are aimed at maintaining ride fitness over the winter whilst developing riding skills in a safe environment. There will be a small charge for these sessions to cover the cost of the circuit hire and floodlighting.
