What’s On in 2020

APOLOGIES AND NEWS: Several apologies actually and some news!

The events for 2021 will be updated shortly. Currently NRW who issue the permissions have put a hold on all permissions applications until there is a clearer situation regarding the impact of COVID for 2021. We do plan and hope to run the usual events in 2021 and on the dates which would roughly correspond to the ones we had hoped to have in 2020! Sadly though we cannot yet apply to have them – everyone at Rainbow Trails HQ has their fingers crossed for news soon. Please stick with us, we will do our absolute best to get things rolling again as quickly as possible as soon as we know!

Remember most of our events are free to paid members – why not join? It’s only £12 for the whole year from April to March!

MULLED WINE AND MINCE PIE RIDE –POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19 and a genuinely terrible weather forecast! Rain all day one day of the weekend and possible sub zero temperatures and snow on the other! This year has not been very good for us, but hang in there, next year we will have a whole programme again hopefully!! Look forward to seeing you then! 

Saturday 5th December 2020

Penffordd Car Park from 10:30am with mulled wine and mince pies from 11am – non-alcoholic option available … and tea and coffee!

MEET & GREET RIDE – POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19

Saturday 21st March  2020 

Penyffordd Car Park from 10.30am.

Our first try at this!

Many people say it’s difficult to meet people to ride with so here it is, your chance to just come along and meet other riders who want to do the kind of ride you want to do.  The more people who come, the more chance of meeting like-minded riders.

Come along, meet other riders, get advice on routes and options from Rainbow Trails stewards and maybe have a cuppa and a chat as well. If you use our Facebook Community let people know that you’re coming along and maybe you’ll already have new friends to ride with by the time you get there.

Meet old friends, make new ones, go riding – what could be better!

Free to all – but please consider becoming a paid member to help keep this wonderful place going. It’s only £12 per year (April to March).
