The Chiltern First XV MTB Club is, we’re afraid, partly our fault. What started as a loose agglomeration of riders sorting out rides in the BM Rides forum has turned into, erm, a loose agglomeration of riders sorting out rides in the BM Rides forum but with a name…

Anyway, as part of the club’s “drive” (although they would doubtless describe it more as a meander, or perhaps saunter) to gather more members, they’re holding some sort of open day on Saturday 7 June. Details are likely to be fairly fluid, but beer, a barbeque and a couple of rides of the short and longer persuasion are mooted.

Can you guess where the current state of play can be divined? Yup, there’s a thread in the Rides forum as tradition dictates. More First XV nonsense at www.1xv.co.uk…
