Stop the Clocks! | Try a Guided Night Ride

With the clocks going back last weekend it's time for shorter days and longer, darker nights so get ready for the winter night riding season!

To help you make to transition to night riding, this Autumn and Winter we are scheduling a series of guided night rides in association with Exposure Lights. Every other Thursday evening we'll be running a night ride in The Surrey Hills to give you an opportunity to try the new 2011 range of Exposure off-road lights.

The rides cost £25 per person, but this is refunded from the cost of a new Exposure light if you choose to buy it from us. Not only that, but we are offering all of our customers a cool 10% off the retail price across the range!

Community | Muddy Moles

Muddy Moles were originally a group of mates who ride together in Mole Valley, The North Downs and The Surrey Hills. They put together a blog which has since grown into a popular community site for bikers in and around Surrey.

The Muddy Moles web site features articles on all things mountain bike including ride reports, route guides, reviews and general MTB mutterings.

Drop by Muddy Moles to share in a wealth of South-East trail knowledge or why not make contact and join them for a ride some time.
