Please make sure your bike is roadworthy; with tyres pumped up and working brakes. “Hybrid” and mountain bikes will be most suitable for this ride – if you have a “road” bike with skinny tyres you may have to walk for a short unsurfaced section.
We will leave our bikes at Wem Moss for a short tour of the nature reserve on foot, so please bring bike locks. It’s recommended that you wear long trousers, long-sleeved tops and don’t wear sandals (even if the weather is hot!) as the ground at Wem Moss can be boggy and there are nettles and brambles.
Please note the meeting will be held on the first Thursday and not the Tuesday due to a prior booking of the Hall.
