Cyclone Mountain Bike Club - Off-Road Ride: Aspley Woods

This is a Cyclone Mountain Bike Club Organised Ride advertised through BCG. This is our weekly Club Ride guided by one of our established Ride Leaders.  The route often takes a minimum of 1 hour and will consist of trails within Aspley Woods. After the initial first hour the ride may be extended for an additional hour with the option of a café stop at Stockgrove Park. If there is a café stop the route often returns via the Trek Trail at Stockgrove. There are specific sections of the woods that are technical and some of the trails are waymarked. The sections of particular fun include: Spooky Wood; The Thorn Trail; Simon's Whoops; The Empire Strikes Back and the infamous Bob's Drop-Off.    Guide: Andrew Jenkins Host: Gavin Vanner - NB. Please note that I am only the Host of the event but not the guide. Meeting Point: Aspley Woods, Aspley Guise.  At the crossroads within the woods.   ** BCG and Cyclone MTB collaborated from 1 April and thus members can join each club for a reduced rate; enabling riders to choose from road or off-roading ventures. Contact either membership secretary through their website.  Learn more about Cyclone MTB Club here [http://www.cyclonembc.com/] IMPORTANT: You ride at your own risk. Helmets and gloves must be worn as this is a stipulation within the Cyclone Mountain Bikes Clubs' constitution. Paid members are covered by 3rd party liability insurance through the BCF. Riders are permitted to ride in the woods within the Duke of Bedford Estate through Cyclone's Permit Scheme.   Non members are only covered up to three rides with the group after which you must become a paid member to continue riding with the group.
