Made the annual New Year’s resolution to keep fit this year? Still sat on that sofa?
Well here’s your chance to shed those Christmas pounds.

The Cycling Demonstration Town (CDT) team in Lancaster has organised drop in cycling sessions for those seeking a healthier lifestyle in 2008.

So whether you’re trying to beat the bulge or just fancy a leisurely ride, why not scoot along to Salt Ayre Sports Centre every Friday morning from January 18.

The free rides start at 11am, last for an hour and are not only a great way to keep fit and healthy but also a chance to meet new friends.

The sessions can help returning cyclists or those who lack that bit of confidence to get back on their bikes. Instructors will be on hand to offer advice and support to riders. 

Cyclists should bring their own bikes although there is a limited supply available for hire from Salt Ayre. Those wishing to hire a bike should contact the CDT Team in advance - see contact details below.

There’s no need to book - just turn up.

For more information please contact the CDT Team on 01524 582392 / 582086 or celebratingcycling@lancaster.gov.uk
