I have just joined and am encouraged by your apparent wish to cater for
new cyclists as well as the more experienced.
May I enquire what, precisely, is arranged for new cyclists and perhaps
especially the older ones (50+, 60+) who, like me, started recently by
riding a mile or two around the block and, after a few weeks, can now
manage perhaps 6-10 miles in one session and then call it a day.
Your runs appear to cater for those who can handle hills and traffic
and round trips of 25 miles plus. Hardly catering for beginners?
Also, your runs (and others) seem to start in or near the city centre -
just getting to the start would be a major challenge for most
beginners - and the east side of Cardiff seems to be left out
completely despite easy access to excellent beginners country in the
low lying area between Cardiff and Newport.
So I repeat; how do you propose to encourage beginners?
