Mountain Bike Trail Opens in Swindon
Mountain bikers in the Swindon area have recently formed a club. Aimed at encouraging cycling and fitness, the club takes a non-competitive view on cycling. Founder Phil Mayger said “The idea was to bring existing riders together and to encourage new people into the sport. We’d already been on a few of the Tuesday night rides organised by the Red Planet bike shop so we thought we could add to that.
In the summer we meet every Friday at the Croft Trail in Swindon for a few laps and then go to the local pub for a social. We have at least one local and one national trail ride per month, plus any other events we fancy doing. Our barbeque and ride nights have been very popular, so we have more of those planned.”
Mr Mayger said “people are welcome to just turn up and ride with us and if they like it they can join the club later.” Club membership offers benefits such as shop discounts, affiliated CTC membership (a national cycling organisation) and liability insurance.
