The weather for next weekend is predicted to become even warmer so it really is time to get out on your bike if you haven't already!
Now is also a great time to think about some training if you are signed up for the special Sunday ride around the Barragems on 1st April or the Alte BTT on 29th April. The last Saturday ride started in Alte and Paul says there are some serious hills there!
Sam had another great ride with 20 "Get Back on your Bikers" on Sunday and they all enjoyed the ride and are raring to go for the next one!
