TIME TO GET FIT FOR CYCLING IN THE SPRING
The team have organised with a brilliant trainer some Low Impact Over 50’s Keep -Fit Sessions, to chase away the festive flab and get ready for Cycling. It takes place on Tuesdays at 10.00 at the Inverkip Hub and is OPEN TO EVERYONE – not just our cyclists 😊

Cost £6 for an hour, pay per week, and it can be at your own pace. Hopefully we will see some of our other familiar cycling faces from elsewhere in Inverclyde.
Contact Kevin at the Hub for more details if you want to come along. There is even an indoor walking ( to music) on afterwards at 11.00 if you want to keep going or try that.
PS The Keep-Fit Cyclists from this week banned me from using any photos 😊

CYCLING IS MORE THAN JUST GETTING ON A BIKE !
There is no doubt that cycling helps health, well-being, mental health, the environment, motivation, weight loss and another 100 or so factors. So when our "Squad" from Inverkip said their were doing some Cycle Winter Training this week to check Hydration, Nutrition, Carbs, etc - Well we kind knew what they were up to!

We are doing our best to try and set up much more cycling, at different times and places to get new and our other squads back together and hopefully we will be in touch as the weather gets better with more plans
Don't they look swell when not wearing Hi Viz.

The Troops just keep on going
Here we are just 8 Cycling Thursdays away from Christmas and the pedals just keep on turning every week. Three frozen noses on this photo but there is no stopping our intrepid cyclists. I think the shorts must be away for the winter now !
Next week there are healthy slice rolls and cakes on offer so keep an eye on the Wattsapp.

You are all really great guys The Team

The cycle runs keep going with adventures, memories, laughs and great places to visit on a bike.

As if the regular Runs of 15-20 cyclists throughout Inverclyde were not enough, the CAB bikers ( including newbies) have been heading out on further journeys including Bute, Paisley and taking some VIPs to try out the local Active Travel Cycle-path.
Some of the attached images show how we have our very own Cow Whisperer who can round up cattle on a bike, Danny meeting a look alike, one of our lady cyclists checking out how she wants her new porch to resemble Mount Stuart House and a bunch of new recruits ( who did not say much) getting to know our regulars.

We have sadly not been able to have evening Runs as we hoped, due to everyone working so hard on daytime runs and a lack of bikes, however we will be keeping on going for as long as the weather is kind. Contact on the FB page or via Kevin at the Inverkip Hub

LOADS BEEN GOING ON BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS ....
Hannah is one of the many "alumni" of Clyde Activity Bikes who loves coming along to our Gourock runs.
A couple of years ago she decided to buy one of our trusted bikes and only went and cycled the Hebridean Way, taking in Skye on the way !! Absolutely brilliant Hannah ( and the wee CAB bike) Well done from all the Team and fellow cyclists from CAB and we hope to hear all about it.
It just shows what can be achieved from cycling along Ashton Prom.
Move over the World Championships in Glasgow - we are just as good in Inverclyde

IT'S BEEN A BUSY FEW WEEKS
The Team have been really busy the last few weeks with regular Led Runs, encouraging newbies at the Kipfest ( with over 50 people trying out the E Bikes on short accompanied routes) a safari over to Toward, some evening runs and members heading out on their own jaunts! ( well done Hazel and John).
Special mention to our recently trained volunteer instructors who have been honing their new found skills in a variety of activities.
Many thanks for your participation guys and let's keep the summer cycling going in Inverclyde, especially for newcomers.
Anyone is welcome to come along and re-cycle themselves on our E free to Bikes with loads of tuition. Just contact Kevin at Inverkip

LAND'S END TO JOHN O' GROATS THIS WEEK -Well sort of !
Yesterday's Led Ride bumped into two intrepid adventurers from Australia - Steve and Emery - who are cycling from London-to-Land's End-to-John O Groats-to-London and passed through Inverclyde on route !
Our cyclists were delighted to give them an es**rt along the route, hear of their fantastic challenge and point them in the right direction.
Best wishes to these guys and keep us updated on your progress and thanks for your kind comments about Inverclyde.

THIS MONDAY NIGHT FROM GOUROCK WOO HOO !!!

Some of yesterday's cyclists were thinking of joining the Circus to show off their brilliant cycling skills. BUT they decided not to as they would miss the cycling from Inverkip every Thursday morning too much.
BUT we will be cycling this Monday night from Gourock Pierhead if you have your own bike and wish to come along. It will be great to see familiar faces again. Be there for 5.45, we will give you bike a quick check over and head off at 6.00.
AND see us at Kip fest tomorrow to chat and try bikes.

Newbies most welcome to get cycling again at any of our events

OUR 9th SEASON IS WELL UNDERWAY - with new Volunteer leaders as well !!

As we head into our 9th summer of teaching & leading cycling activities in Inverclyde we have had 40 people brush up on their Cycling skills and held 3 led rides over the past 5 weeks..... ( we even had the Dolphins along though they were not so good on the pedals so they just swam !)

This week sees 8 brilliant volunteers undertaking Assistant Ride Leader Training which means our capacity to teach and take led rides from Inverkip gets even stronger. We really hope that many more people will come along to refresh their cycling or take it up for the first time, and join our ever growing band of enthusiastic cyclists. We promise to arrange evening runs too.......

We are back - Getting Ready for Cycling

The team have started the cycling season with some brilliant Essential Cycling Skills Sessions down at Inverkip Hub.
This Thursday will be another session - just to remind everyone of the basics and get ready for the summer and the other Group Lead Rides and other cycling activities.
Contact Kevin at the hub ( 01475 520740) if you want to come along on Thursday and remind yourself of those important elements of cycling - on our E Bikes, Manual Bikes or bring your own bike.
We will be starting back with runs on Thursday mornings in May and hoping to have some Cycle rides in the evening and from Gourock! Woo Hoo Let us know if you are interested !

Folks
We have some connections with local Curling.

The attached Open Day may be of interest to come along and have a go at Curling, as this season ends, with a thought to picking it up as a hobby into next autumn when the cycling closes for the summer. If for no other reason than to keep fit and active over the winter months. Many people play with a pole to save all that bending and stuff!! :)
The Open day is from 12.00 til 9.00pm but the Clyde Activity Bikes folk will be about from 2.30 til 6.30 Hope to see you come along and have a try. We know our cyclists would love it !

News of Cycling for this year will be coming soon

EVERY PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS !!!
Well another Cycling Season has come and gone which saw newbies, returners, novices, oldies, youngees, owners of new bikes, smilers, newly formed-athletes, chatter-boxes, pocket munchers trick artists!, and every sort of cyclist back out with us on our incredible 8th season of delivering cycling in Inverclyde.

Heading out from the Inverkip Hub, we have been over the hills, up the coast, across the water, round the Estates, down the valley, (some went yomping over the heather- you know who you are) and just about everywhere in Inverclyde and beyond, with 100’s of cyclists covering 1,000’s of miles !! And the “safari” led trips saw us achieving great cycle expeditions to Ardentinney, Toward, The Twin peaks ( you need to ask), Largs, Loch Thom, Kilmacolm and everywhere in between.

Just look at the pictures to see a fraction of the efforts and the BIG smiles.

WELL DONE EVERYONE

A special thanks to the brilliant instructors and leaders who have been providing outstanding cycling activities for all these years in Inverclyde and to all at Inverkip Community Hub for the arrangements, refreshments and "healthy" scones.

We hope to see you and many more cyclists ( from beginners to experts) next year on our E bikes and manual bikes next year, or bring your own.

Here’s to 2023 !!
