Sneinton's own cycling club, Sneinton bikers, has unveiled its 2012 ride dates. The first ride of 2012 will leave Hermitage Square at 2pm on Saturday 7th January.

An excellent chance to get out on your bike all year round for relaxed rides and fun exercise. The group has a 'social cycling' approach, favouring a relaxed pace, routes with a view and handy spots for a break on the way.

The length and difficulty of route is set according to the experience of the group on the day, so all are welcome to come along and give cycling a chance.

The group will meet every first and third Saturday of each month- you can find the dates in Alchemy's What's on in Sneinton calendar. It posts regular ride reports and route maps on its blog at www.cyclesneinton.com.
