Mickleover Out On Bikes

On Sunday 2nd March 2014, despite the weather, Mickleover Out On Bikes Prologue Ride was very popular! Twenty five riders split into two groups, leaving from the Great Northern Pub on Station Road, Mickleover at 2.00 pm. Younger riders rode down the cycle path towards Etwall while the second group rode along Radbourne Lane. Meeting up at the bridge on Heage Lane, everyone cycled back together to the start point. The ride was approximately 6 miles and took about an hour.

Silverhill pupils, Emily and Louisa, enjoyed the ride having taken part in their first ride with this group at Christmas (they even got goody bags on that occasion!) and this time were joined by Flynn, who put his cycling skills to good use!

The Mickleover Out On Bikes group will be running this family friendly ride the first Sunday of every month. For full details you can 'like' their Facebook page (https://Facebook.com/CycleMickleover) and 'follow' them on Twitter - search for Mickleover Out on Bikes.
