In addition to the Fixed Length Courses, we also run, between April and August, Thursday night runs for those riders wanting more practice or for those riders who find it difficult to get out at a weekend. These evening runs have the same starting place as the club runs, which is at Tudor Rose Hotel Car Park, Two Mills, South Wirral, Cheshire. Start time for these evening runs is 6:45pm.

The Thursday runs Start in April, and finish at the end of August. The rides usually last a couple of hours or so, and the distances covered can be between 50 to 80 miles. We always try to have a fixed route for the run that evening, and to meet up at various points along the way. We cover a variety of roads on these runs, from town work to open road work.

These runs are usually very well attended, and are a good chance for members to get out and enjoy riding their bikes. Sometimes there can be as many as 20 to 30 bikes there.

 

Should you feel you want some extra tution above and beyond the fixed length sessions, these can be arranged, there is also a list of observers who are available by arrangement on normal weekdays. It is up to you to contact either the associate co-ordinator, or observers directly, to arrange these extra sessions, and again a £10.00 contribution towards your observers costs for each of these sessions would be appreciated.
