Things To Do!
Hi and welcome to 'Things To Do!' This group is for activities around Cardiff and the surrounding area, with walks, coffee's, regular meals priced to meet all pockets, special events and the odd sporting event thrown in too. Come along and meet new and old friends in a relaxed pleasant atmosphere. Attendance numbers for meals can be increased if there is a waitlist, and if the establishment can fit the request for extra places. **When joining the group, there is a membership fee of £4.00p for 6 months, or 12 months for the bargain price of £7.50p** 😉 Most dining events will require a £5 deposit to confirm your place, this charge will either be deducted from your bill at the end of the meal or returned to you in cash at the meal. The deposits will not be refunded if you fail to turn up, or your attendance is cancelled within 24hrs of the event, members on waitlists must be allowed time to book onto events, this is less likely if people book off on the day or day before. If you find you are unable to attend, then the deposit will be paid back to you, if someone on the waitlist for that event takes your place. This is also dependent on the restaurant requiring a deposit to confirm the booking. This group is for ages 30 to infinity.

Mountain Biking Bristol

Bristol, B7

Mountain Biking Bristol

A group intended to be a meeting point for riders who already have some experience, reasonable fitness and basic technical skills besides love for the sport as well as meeting others of similar interests. 

Riding will happen more often around Ashton Court/ Leigh Woods but also in South Wales, Forest of Dean, North Wales and more. 

 Riders of different levels of fitness are welcome but there will be no 'family' rides, only grades BLUE and ABOVE (see bellow) will be organised. Our rides are not suitable for children!

We follow the grading system suggested by the mountain biking industry as described by the following sites:

http://www.mbwales.com/en/content/cms/Trail_Search/Trail_Grading/Trail_Grading.aspx

https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/knowledge/training/article/izn20130802-Mountain-bike-trail-centre-grades-0

In our own words:

• Blue -  Regular pace with time to catch breath, challenging but guaranteed to raise a smile.

• Red - Steady pace, technical elements, reasonable distance/ duration.

• Black - Fast paced and very technical, and or long distance. 

Important: this group hasn't got any intention of being or acting as a cycling club. It is simply a meeting place for people who want to ride in the company of other cyclists. Therefore it is important to understand that all riders must be responsible for their own health, safety and well being as well as being prepared for dealing with common situations typical of the activity like change in weather, mechanical problems, flat tyres, etc.Mountain Biking is a hard sport not free of risk  and this group cannot be deemed responsible for the exacerbation of any medical condition as well as any crash or accidents that might occur during our rides.
