At GBC we ride our bikes weekly and everyone is free to join us. We see this as the point behind our business. Bikes should not be left in a garage, by riding we get fitter, enjoy the interaction with others and the exercise lifts the spirits.
If you wish to join us, simply e-mail us at events@thegreenbikecompany.co.uk and we will add you to the distribution list (see below for some important conditions before you join us).
Most weekends we meet at 8.00am at The Bank House in Bransford Worcester for a 30-40 mile ride on road bikes. This ride depends on weather and other commitments so please let us know if you wish to come along?
Monthly Reliability Ride
A very good customer of ours introduced a monthly reliability ride which allows everyone to check their own personal time over a 20 mile (mostly flat) circuit.
This starts from The Bell Pub Car Park at Lower Broadheath in Worcester and takes place every 2nd Sunday of each month.
Meeting at 9am for a coffee and a brief.
Steve suffered from leukaemia and following his recovery he raises money charity. We ask for £3.00 for every rider which pays for the coffee leaving £2.00 for the charity.
