Hi all.
I am new to the forum and I am looking to get into the hobby especially with the stress of my job, its nice to let some steam off in a healthy way.
I am looking for bike clubs around the Swadlincote / Burton upon trent area to join a buy a bike etc.
Hi there and
from a little village near Measham.
@cyberknight I think is from Swad. Hopefully you'll hear from him a little later.
Welcome to CC !
Yes i am indeed from that neck of the woods , Newhall in fact .
What sort of riding do you do ?, i am a member of mercia CC which has a number of rides with 3 main rides on a sunday morning from burton town hall
,Check the link at the bottom of my post for a link to the website .
Lloyds cycles use to have MTB rides , not sure if they still do as i only pop in if i need bits or the bike is in need of repair i cant do.
There is a cycle club that rides around rosliston forestry centre as well but i think its more mid week biddy brigade ... no offense meant to them .
Hicks Lodge is a nice place to ride if your not confident on the road and has a cafe .

We keep talking about a cyclechat ride but it does not seem to happen atm but if i have the time (kids permitting ) i am happy to come out for a ride.
