The warm(ish), wet winter has taken it’s toll down at croft trail, so much so that we’ve a lot of maintenance to do before we move into spring / summer. Many hands make light work, any time you can give is fully appreciated be it for the day or just an hour. Bring a mug […]

Words and photos by Chris Hopkinson Ok. Let’s get the obvious out of the way straight away. It ain’t Bikepark Wales! To be fair, comparing the two is a bit like comparing Star Wars and Blake’s 7, they’re both very good at what they do but are worlds apart budget wise. While I imagine many

If by some sort of miracle it stays dry between now and Wednesday evening we’ll think about riding some of the off road urban routes around town. If not we’ll do the standard urban round leg spinner. Charge yer lights, wrap up warm and remember – winter miles = summer smiles!
The Urban Round is a novice friendly ride utilising Swindon’s cycle path network. The route is mainly off road and mostly mud free. The idea being that riders can keep their fitness levels up during the winter without getting plastered in mud. The ride will be in the dark so lights and warm clothing are a MUST.
January update – there are still some seats available for this, please note extended deposit deadline of 06 January 2016. You may have been wondering if we were going to hold a Christmas meal this year, well fear not we haven’t forgotten about it! We know that there can be many pulls on your time in
