Hi Folks

Happy to announce we are going to be running some shop rides.

We're kicking things off with A mountain bike ride on Thursday the 3rd of September. Meet at the shop at 6pm, the plan is to do a lap of Loughrigg, hopefully we'll be back before dark but it may be worth having your lights just in case.

If you're keen to join please let us know, just to help us have an idea on numbers.

Prehistoric day on Eday, chambered cairns and monoliths, followed by some fun riding on the beach. The Surly Straggler and Moda Molto are both proving to be great choices for the two week trip. Interestingly Orkney has so far proved extremely quiet (especially given that it’s now mid season) with empty hostels and deserted beaches, pretty much the exact opposite to Skye and the West Coast.

Midweek on Orkney, Rousay, overnight at Kirkwall hostel and onwards to Eday for a beach wild camp. Great to see the puffins on Brough of Birsay!
