You bought it full of good intentions, but rode it only once or twice? ‘0-30 in Three Months’ is a new cycling project in Harrogate, aimed at helping people prise their unused bike out of the shed! ‘0-30 in 3 Months’ is a new cycling project in Harrogate for people who rarely cycle further than the nearest shops. It's also for would-be cyclists put off by the traffic, who are unfit or want to lose weight.  Cyclist riding from Swaledale into Cumbria. Organiser Yvonne Skelton, Secretary of the Cyclists Touring Club, North Yorkshire, and a member of Harrogate Wheel Easy explains: "We’ll meet every Saturday at 2pm, setting out from Hornbeam Park Railway Station car park. Our first ride will be on Saturday 23rd February. We will do a repeat run on 1st March just in case people can’t make the first date. The Ö÷²¥´óÐã is not responsible for the content of external websites Each of these rides will be five miles, completed at the pace of the slowest riders. In March the group will do at least two rides up to 10 miles, in April two rides up to 20 miles. The target in May is one ride of 25 and one of 30 miles. All rides are on quiet lanes and cycle paths as far as possible, and led by experienced cyclists who will give tips before and during the rides.
The first ride is almost certain to be the hardest, but if you start cycling regularly it's amazing how quickly it gets easier as your muscles get stronger."  Members of the Harrogate Wheel Easy cycling club. Members of the group need a bike which is well maintained or recently serviced, and are advised to wear cycle helmets and bright clothing. To get to the start at Hornbeam they can either cycle or bring their bikes by car. The cost is just £3, which includes Wheel Easy membership throughout the summer. last updated: 19/02/2008 at 15:24 SEE ALSOYou are in: North Yorkshire > Features > Two wheels good? |
