The women's group, as the name suggests, is for women and girls only. The group have regular rides on a wednesday evening, sometimes breaking into different groups to do a range of routes to suit- some leisurely, some more strenous, some on forestry track and some on single track. Sometimes a few join the mixed group for a change.
You don't have to be fit or fast: just willing to have a go, get stuck in & have some fun!
Plenty of the women ride competitively on the Tuesday evening roadie time-trials in the summer and the winter league mountain bike races in the winter so the women's group isn't a separate branch of the club or a clique - it just lets us have some girls-only quality time!
The women's group also organise social events and the occasional weekend trip away biking in various parts of the country.
