    Paul Cross seems to be championing active travel at RAL. I would speak with him:

    I should add that the one time I went to hire an ebike, the battery was flat!

    Hi all!!

    Resuming weekly Harwell mountain bike rides from the Pavilion bike repair station, starting Wednesday 5th April meeting at 5pm for a 5.15pm start.

    I’ll plan the route this time and hope to nominate a different person each week. Expect 20km or around 1h30-2h

    As per last year, please email me to be added to the WhatsApp group (mike.graham (at) stfc.ac.uk)

    Hope to see many of you there!

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Kevin,

    Unfortunately I will need to ride in earlier than 0750 as I have an all-day training course, hope you find someone.

    First ride out last Wednesday was a great success with 9 riders! Thanks to all who joined!

    Next ride this evening, meeting at the Pavilion bike repair station at 1730.

    Hoping to make this a weekly ride until either the weather turns or the nights draw in – I probably won’t be posting on here each week so please either turn up or email me (mike.graham (at) stfc.ac.uk) to be added to the WhatsApp group.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Martin, you’re not wrong about the site! Can’t figure out how to PM so email me mike.graham (at) STFC.ac.uk

    Otherwise maybe see you on Wednesday at 17.30 by the Pavilion. Thanks

    Hey everyone, great to have such enthusiastic and fast responses! Looks like there’s appetite to arrange a post-work ride!

    I’m on leave next week but how about starting on Wednesday 24th August? Does meeting at 5pm work, or a little later? I am happy to plan the first route, will aim for around 15-20km or 1-1.5 hr! If all goes well, we can have one a week til the weather gets bad.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Martin, I cycled in today, you aren’t available this afternoon are you?

    Otherwise I’m on leave next week but looking at replies above I might suggest a ride for the week after (22/8-)
