Hi All
My wife surprised me for my birthday yesterday with a new mountain bike and would love to get involved with some riding.
Is there any times/courses/groups for old outer condition riders wishing to have some fun.
I live pretty close to Leggy/Glenrock rode there a lot when I was a lot younger but things have changed since the late 70s/80s

maybe a few of the other blokes know when a group of older gents ride up there during the week-maybe hook up with them for a lap or 2.

Welcome mate I ride leggy a couple times a week and do shift work so ride any time and day of the week. So what days and times suit you, I can message you before a ride . I'm a older rider trying to get fitter and am happy to ride at a cruise pace it usually takes me about 1 hr to do the main loop of glenrock
