Fun, friendly events with something for everyone on Wednesday evenings. Beginners are very welcome – bring a friend, bring the family, challenge yourself learning new skills and get fit(ter) in the process.
Storm damage/fellin6 is still playing havoc with some areas but all events will have at least 2 courses making them suitable for beginners and experienced alike:
- easy (all on paths – white/yellow standard – up to 2km)
- technical as-hard-as-we-can-make-it, style and length depending on what we can make of the area but aiming for somewhere between 3km and 5km
- maybe some technical training twist options for the tech course

The areas we use for Summer Series events are frequented by members of the public so please set a good example by being courteous to other users and watch out for dogs/horses/other runners/bikes, especially electric bikes and scooters that can appear ninja-like quite suddenly.
