Try Cycling a Big Hit

Back in March this year when there was still snow on the ground CTC Grampian started their
popular “Try Cycling” events. A series of free short rides on a Sunday morning for those who have
not cycled before or have been out of the saddle for a while. Seen by many as a ideal way to get
some practice and (regain) road confidence they have proved very popular.

Sunday 26th September marks the last ride of 2005, a total of over 50 new cyclists have participated,
many of whom have continued to cycle, and reaped the health and fitness benefits as a result.

Try Cycling will be back in 2006, watch this space for more details or if you can’t wait
