Dirty Day Out
Each month I will host a Dirty Day Out.
Essentially as it sounds, I will take you out and show you one of the awesome riding locations in the greater Canterbury & West Coast region.
This is a no-drop, guided, half day of enjoyment and general bicycle hooliganism. The day will finish in an establishment that will provide refreshments and nourishment so we can spin tales of our grand adventures.
Even if you are grizzled veteran, I can promise you something you haven’t seen before.
Where exactly will depend on the weather and what you have or haven’t done!
The cost will be $80 per person.
$$$ includes guiding, transport and some goodies.
What you need:
A sense of adventure & fun!
Be an intermediate level or experienced rider however we can help you make the transition
A well maintained bike, spares and gear sufficient for a day of riding.
Any medication you require and food/water for the day.
If you don’t have your bike with you, we can help you get an appropriate bike to bring out.
A detailed ride guide and gear list will be sent to registered riders.
Register now as there are limited places.
