Hey epyic crew,
Where did January go?! We hope you’ve been enjoying summer, even with the temp dialled way up.
In addition to our usual list of the best weekend adventures, we’re keeping the local clubs series rolling - with a (huge!) list of cycling & MTB clubs to get you out there. I (Stella) only learned to ride a bike at 40 and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s such a good mix of fitness, fresh air, exploring new spots and meeting great people. If I can do it, so can you.
Also, drumroll please… we’ve got a February giveaway! Scroll down for more details.
Tune in for paddling clubs next week.
See you out there,
Team epyic, Stella & Chris

🚲 #CYCLE #MTB Cycling and MTB clubs are a great way to build fitness, get fresh air and meet new friends. Most let you trial a few rides, with affordable annual memberships if you decide to join.
