Dunstable Cyclists Unite!

2015 Let's do this.

There is an enormously large amount of people who cycle in Dunstable, many of these co-exist with nobody noticing as they get on with things like the rest of us. Then you have a few who want to make a difference. I'm one of the latter, let's do something together.

January is a time for change for all and many have bikes, do you think you could ride a few miles? I bet you could easily ride 5+ miles within a month and not notice? a few more months and 10 miles will be easy. On top of this you get a good workout, seeing beauty spots in the area and get to meet other people you'd never think of speaking to and spark off a friendship or two.

The project I'm creating is coming to Dunstable but for now I want to try a few beta test or two.

One evening we'll arrange a little meetup of people who ride or want to ride regularly. All are welcome including those who aren't as confident on two wheels, I promise you now the less confident will be looked after. (I still struggle so I promise no pressure.)

The ride date will be announced in the next two weeks.

Requirements as follows:

Helmets - Optional (let's not go into that debate here please)

Lights - Required as it'll be an evening ride. Halfords do some very basic lights for £3 or £5 with
batteries included at the moment, or Poundland sells basic lights and batteries for £3

Bike - As long as it's working and roadworthy. Considering the test ride will be a mix of both on and off road make sure the bike is up to it.

Drinks - It's a ronseal moment there!

If  interested please get in touch and we'll arrange it.

Balls of steel restarts HERE!!!!!!!!!!1!!1!111

Evening all. This is a bit of a rant at myself and a decison i've mad tonight

I'm pissed off. Not with any of my readers if i have any. But over the last few weeks i've been getting more and more annoyed with myself.
Balls of steel has been neglected. An awful amount of forgetfulness is stupid.

This year I have to get back to a good level on the bike for a family friendly balls of steel next year.

I have the route already planned, the roads are quiet and relatively safe for families to use and there are places we can stop safely and have drinks and support on hand if needed.
This will be the offical place for balls of steel updates.

but i'm thinking of changing the way it works.

Imwellconfused.me.uk's balls of steel extreme. for the surrey to Dunstable rides (yes i'm still going to plan one)
Imwellconfused.me.uk's family challenge. The first one being organised asap. Will be a 13/14 mile cycle around central beds starting at Dunstable Downs Gateway centre.

The ride will be organised for the Luton and Dunstable hospital's NICU unit, for the hard work the NICU do with babies from around the south of the country. (it's one of the best and buisiest in the area)

If you wish to join with us for this event please comment, or contact me via twitter @hooker1uk and we'll crack on with it.

I'm 100%serious about staring this off again as soon as possible.
