MBSWINDON
We've got loads of rides and events on the calendar for 2011. This includes local Wiltshire rides, trips to big name trail centres, plus rides at places like the Wyre forest, the Cotswolds, the Mendips and Dartmoor.
We've got a load of weekend trips including Brechfa, North Wales, ridgeway end to end and French Alps (Morzine). We're going to be at several of the big MTB events too, things like Bristol Bikefest.
Non members are welcome to join us on any of these rides.
We go to the Check Inn pub on Friday nights for about 9pm for a social.
We're running a series of novice friendly rides including all women rides.
We've got 3 MIAS accredited instructors now and there will be a series of training rides from March onwards.
I've done a round up video from 2010.

CROFT TRAIL
Meanwhile we're continuing to work on the Croft trail. A lot of time has been spent making existing sections all weather and there's still more to be done there. Trail plans Dec 2010.

I'm in Cirencester and would love to tag along.
Looking forward to some local trail and Cwmcarn rides.0 -
It would be great to see you. All our rides are open to non members - just turn up on the day. We've got a really friendly, social group. Come to the pub on a Friday night to say hello.0

Hiya,
I live just outside Abingdon, and am really keen to join up for the Wallingford ride on 13th March, if that's possible?? I'd love to come along to the pub before that to say hello, but Wroughton is quite a trek from here.....not that it should be a problem for an evening, except I've only a couple of Friday nights off duty between now & then
How would you guys feel if I just turned up on the Sunday? I've not long gotten my bike, so would love the chance to meet up for a ride along some known trails!
Cheers!
Mark

Hi Mark,

Be great to see you sometime, as Tom says, just turn up.

Hi Tom/Rafe!
Small world!.......we nearly bought a house in Watchfield a couple of months back (they got a better offer)!...... I'm in Marcham and was out Stevevton way this morning on a ride along some Bridleway's - it was a bit muddy out there!!
Thanks for the offer guys, I may turn up on the 13th, but my wife reminded me last night tyhat we've both got that weekend off, with the intention of going away for a night or 2, so may well have to work on her!
I'm really keen to come along, but if i don't make that one, I'll def come along for another!
Cheers chaps
