Cycle Knutsford Events – 2012
CycleKnutsford have planned the start of a schedule of cycle rides for 2012. These are both rides for the enthusiast and shorter easier rides for people who want something gentler. See below for the details. Further events will be added as they are available.
Following the success of the “cycle maintenance course” run by Darren Allgood, more of these are planned. These sessions are very “hands on”, all attending will do basic maintenance such as mending a puncture or a broken chain and you don’t need to bring your own bike!
Our qualified cycling instructor, Su, has agreed to organise further adult cycling refresher courses.
A small group of members are planning more routes to nearby places of interest; these will be available to download from our website.
