Ride the Calder Valley
Simple checks and tips for getting out on the valley's lanes and trails.
Before you ride
-
Brakes
Squeeze both brakes and check they feel firm.
-
Tyres
Check your tyres for pressure, cuts and wear.
-
Wheels
Make sure both wheels are secure.
-
Chain
Keep it clean and lubed to suit the conditions.
-
What to bring
A pump, a spare tube or repair kit, a multi-tool, water and a layer for the weather.
If something does not feel right, do not ride it. Bring it in and we will take a look.
Look after the trails
Good trails make for good riding. Stick to the paths you are allowed to ride, be friendly to walkers and other riders, close gates behind you and take your litter home.
