No Balls Biking
No Balls Biking is a new women’s only MTB group that has been set up in Sheffield, by riders who have been inspired by women’s only events such as Stilettos on Wheel and want to create a similar vibe for just general riding.
No Balls Biking is a new group for women interested in biking.The idea with this group is to involve all types of rider from beginner to gnarly pinner in all types of cycling whether it is long distance XC or family leisure rides but in an all women environment (safety in numbers) with no pressure to keep up, go fast or attempt crazy speeds or tech. Hopefully there will be regular rides, social meets and more involvement within the Sheffield riding community when it comes to trail maintenance, road safety and dig days. Beware… There may be women with shovels!! (more…)

Mountain Biking at Parkwood Springs
As one of Sheffield’s worst kept secrets, you have probably already heard that MTB circuit up at Parkwood has pretty much been completed now and pretty awesome it looks too. After lots of hard work for Sheffield City Councils Jon Dallow and Bike Tracks, official opening pegged for the end of September, you don’t have long before you can go and ride it.
While the track looks pretty much competed, the work is still ongoing with tweaks and finishing touches being put in currently. To make sure that the track stays in its very best state for as long as possible, please do not go and ride the track as it needs adequate time to bed in, also sections of the trail have not had their second whakering either. It also means that there is heavy plant on the site most days. (more…) -

Whilst some of you might feel that road riding has no place on here, its hard to escape the fact that something pretty exciting is happening in the tour at the moment. As well as for making for some exciting viewing, it also helps raise the profile of cycling, which is a good thing for all.
If you’re the sociable type who likes to enjoy their sport with others; there are a couple of options for you to enjoy the last couple of stages
The Bike Tree will be screening both day on their big screen in the shop and are happy for people to come along and watch there. If you want to bring a drink etc it might be worth checking first; but should be fine as long as you bring them one
