Just Ride Southend have been holding trial sessions with reduced numbers, so far these have gone very well. Thank you to all who have attended and to our amazing volunteers for your support.
These sessions are INVITATION ONLY. If you would like to secure a space please email justridesouthend@gmail.com and we will let you know of any availability.
These sessions are NOT open for people to drop in at present and information on others days of opening will follow in the weeks to come, please keep an eye on Facebook for regular updates. At the moment these sessions are just for general use of the track, they are not Learn to Ride sessions.
We are so pleased to be open and can’t wait to see you all again. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Hi Everyone, If you are Amazon shopping would you consider using the link below? We will receive 0.5% of your shopping spend as a donation from Amazon direct into our account as your chosen charity.
We look forward to seeing you with our new a booking & payment system in 2021, watch this space.
We are working with the relevant partners to look at how Just Ride Southend can reopen in a safe and secure way within the Covid19 Guidelines.
We hope to be able to trial this before the end of the year. New procedures will include having an online booking system, most likely very limited numbers and small group bookings of six riders. We hope to post details and trial dates as soon as possible but this is dependent on issues outside of our control.
The safety of our volunteers and those using Just Ride Southend is our highest priority and we want to ensure that our services stay inclusive to all.
We are missing being at the track just as much as you, thank you all for your patience. ❤️🚴♂️🤞
Please read below message from Fusion:
“Following the government announcement that leisure centres may reopen, we have been analysing the safety and financial challenges ahead. The Covid crisis has had a huge financial impact on the sector and UKactive have confirmed that projected footfall and income will be significantly down over the next year, whilst operating within the new guidelines.
We are working with Southend-on-Sea Borough Council to look at the options for a phased return of leisure centre provision, but we do not expect all activities at all facilities to resume immediately. At this stage Southend Leisure & Tennis Centre will not be opening on the 25th July. However, please be assured, we are working closely with Southend-on-Sea Borough Council to assess the situation and will bring you news as soon as possible. We know your leisure facilities are really important for your health and well-being and we want them open again as soon as they are safe and viable, so we hope that you will bear with us during this time.”
Just Ride Southend will be unable to go ahead with any sessions. As soon as we know more we will update you all. We thank everyone for their ongoing support and hope to see you again very soon. ❤️🚴♂️
