It's the penultimate day of Autumn and that winter chill is most certainly the air. Pull on the scarf and gloves and make it your mission to ride through the winter this year. Demand for training definitely hasn't slowed yet, with 3 community courses already confirmed for June and July. You can follow us on Twitter and Facebook to keep up to date as new courses are announced. Hopefully I'll get time in the next month or two to plan a redesign of this website too!
