Cyclists Touring Club
Newark On Trent
Group

We meet for informal easy rides on Saturday afternoons. These are aimed at cycling beginners, people returning to cycling after a break, family groups or those who just prefer a more leisurely ride. Anyone who has taken part in the Notts County Council -Easy Rides- scheme and would like more of something similar may enjoy these rides.

• We meet at Sconce Hills Public car park (GR 796532) at 12:30pm in Summer. In the Winter we meet at 11:30hrs and aim to arrive back in Newark before dusk whenever possible.

• You do not need to be a CTC member, just turn up with your bike on the day. If you are worried about keeping up - Don't, no-one will be abandoned or left behind. We want to encourage you, not put you off.

• The distances will be modest and the destinations will be decided on the day, taking into account the weather and the wishes, needs and abilities of those turning up on the day. Whenever possible we try to find a cafe for refreshments.

• We strongly recommend that all riders carry a spare inner tube, tyre levers and a serviceable pump to cope with those unforeseen pneumatic contingencies. Help will be given, if needed, at such times.

• If the weather is especially bad (We are not masochists) phone James on 01636 680638 to confirm if leader(s) will be there.
