Jo and Isobel (the organisers) would like to express a big thank you to all of you for making last week’s Bike ‘n’ Ride Tour of Garforth event a successful and enjoyable evening by marshalling, helping with registration, handing out food, etc. etc. They have had some nice feedback from people who took part which is thanks to all your efforts.
LCAG invite you to join us every Saturday for a relaxing social ride of
15 miles. We ride at the pace of the slowest rider, so no-one is left behind! First ride is Saturday 30 July and then every Saturday, same time, same place.
Meet at Roundhay Park car park (The old Tram Terminus) at the junction of Prince’s Avenue and Lidgett Park Road (near main park gates / skate
park) from 10.15am, the ride starts 10:30am. Allow a couple of hours for a gentle, sociable ride, followed by a cafe stop at the end.
Please download these posters, print them off and invite people!
