Maintenance Masterclasses with Mary [Punctures] Part II : 1.10

Punctures : probably one of the most common ailments for the regular cyclist - and they always seem to happen at the worst moment! Late, in the rain, it's just got dark - perhaps. Come and build your confidence for that fizzing flattening feeling you're bound to experience at some point on a cycling journey and learn about the best solution - together!

We have complimentary brews to hydrate your learning and not to mention our absolute pro Mary, working you through some of the following intricacies of tyre life.

This is a practical workshop and comes in two parts, we strongly recommend that participants attend both workshops to get the most out of them. Part I : 'Wheels Away' is on 24th September.

Friendly Notice! If you book on but for whatever reason cannot make it, we would appreciate as much notice as possible so we can open the class back up to others waiting. You can cancel your place directly via your EventBrite ticket. The workshops are free to you [hooray!] but come with cost and planning from our end so we want to make sure all the places are taken and enjoyed.. Thank you!
