Social Cycle
The main (social) training of the week takes place on Monday evening. The training starts at 6:30 pm from the Riekermolen. The Social Cycle training is open to cyclists of all levels. Bear in mind, that you need to have some kind of experience with cycling in groups.
After 1,5 hour we will return to Sportcentrum VU, this is where the Social ends at the sportscenter of the VU University where we'll have a nice meal together. You can sign up for dinner through this website (Leden -> inschrijven voor activiteiten). Make sure to do so before Sunday 12.00.
If you need to lend a bike please send wielrennen@skits.nl an email.
