  • New Ride Leaders Wanted

    As a club we think it is important to have ride leaders with the necessary skills to safely lead enjoyable rides. We have a number of ride leaders, but due to other time constraints too frequently the responsibility to lead the rides falls on a few. To take the strain away from these members, (and to encourage the development of the club’s riding calendar) we are looking to identify and train some new ride leaders.

    The course will be partially funded by the club, and we will operate a payback system that allows ride leaders to recover the rest of the course cost annually as they lead rides.

    If you are interested in becoming a ride leader – and you feel you have the time to take on the role (a couple of rides a month) – we would be grateful to hear from you, e-mail ian.crook@blackcanoncollective.co.uk to state your interest or to find out more.

    Thanks!

  • Sorry, No Pets

    Over the years we’ve happily allowed people to bring their pets (well dogs) along with them on club rides, but we’ve come to realise that as much fun as it is to ride with your mutt it’s not exactly a recipe for the most enjoyable ride all round. Even the best trail dogs can be unpredictable and make other riders feel nervous, not to mention scare the local wildlife of which there’s quite a lot.

    So, from today onwards we won’t be allowing any pets on BCC organised rides.

    Thanks

  • Thank you Rose Bikes!

    Rose Bikes UK have been super generous and have provided the BCC with 4 Deuter Bike Plus bags for our Ride Leaders to use when leading BCC rides.

    The bags will soon be stocked with all the essentials you could ever need from First Aid kits, tools, hand warmers and spares to maps and thermal blankets – meaning that all our ride leaders will be equipped for almost any situation out on the trails.

    Click on the Rose Bikes logo below to check out their website, there’s not a lot that they dont sell!

    (Cheers to Finlay Paton for sorting us out!)
