Cycling is the third most popular recreational activity in the U.K. and it’s easy to understand why! Not only is it a good way to improve your fi tness, it’s also a great way to spend quality time with family and friends.

An estimated 3.1 million people ride a bicycle each month and as a form of exercise, cycling has broad appeal. Toddlers, pensioners, the able-bodied or people with disabilities can all enjoy cycling if they have the right equipment. In Staffordshire we have a vast selection of wonderful places to cycle both on and off road. Cannock Chase is home to the award winning and highly popular Follow the Dog and Monkey Trail mountain bike trails, as well as Stile Cop’s downhill trails. A combination of hand built and contractor built trails, it has taken well over 25,000 man hours from volunteers to build the trails – that’s about 3 solid years of work, with no sleep!

There are 3 leisure cycle trails at the Chase designed for the leisure cyclist and families.

These trails are open all year round and are free of charge. The leisure trails have been developed from the long-established family routes around Cannock Chase, and all start from Birches Valley.

Chasewater Country Park in Staffordshire is perfect for cycling both for adults and children. It is located between Burntwood, Brownhills and Norton Canes, in a picturesque countryside setting. It covers 360 hectares, including some 90 hectares of water and the country park provides a home for many birds and animals, which will provide hours of fun for young families.

So what’s stopping you? Make the Summertime of 2014 a happy and healthy one, if you need help and advice on equipment to get started Bridgtown Cycles will be happy to help from children’s bikes right through to carbon racing machines, they can help provide the perfect bike to meet your needs.You will fi nd them open 6 days a week, Monday – Saturday 9.30am – 5.30pm at Lakeside Plaza, Walkmill Lane, Bridgtown, Cannock WS11 0XE (next door to Silver Blades Ice Skating) or visit www.btownbikes.com for further information.

It’s Summertime … so get out on your Bike!

Seasonal Recipe: Home-Made Burgers

All You Need To Know!

It’s the barbecue season and nothing

tastes better than delicious home-made char-grilled burgers. Follow these top tips for the best burgers

around…

• Always choose good quality premium minced steak for the best flavour but pick one that has some fat in it – don’t buy extra lean mince as the burgers will dry out too much during cooking. Try asking your local butcher to mince some rump or chuck steak with about 20% fat content. For four quarter pounder burgers you’ll need 500g mince.

• Mince is fairly bland so you’ll need to add plenty of flavouring. Grated or very finely chopped onion and minced garlic form the basic flavouring but you add whatever dried or fresh herb, spice or seasoning you like. You’ll need to add 5-10ml (1-2tsp) salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper too.

• A handful of fresh breadcrumbs and a little beaten egg will also help to bind the mince together and prevent the burgers from breaking up during cooking. Whizz all the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture starts holding together or use clean hands to mix as thoroughly as possible.• Shape the burgers into round flat discs

with wetted hands. To get perfectly round shapes press the mixture into a metal pastry cutter. Don’t over handle the burgers or they will be tough and dry when cooked.

• Ensure that burgers are cooked all the way through and there is no pinkness in the middle. To check this press the burger down with a fish slice – if there are pink juices oozing out then cook for a few more minutes.

• If you want a change from the classic sesame seed bun why not serve the cooked burgers on top of wedges of toasted ciabatta bread spread with a little mustard mayo or pack into warmed and split pitta breads with salad or coleslaw.

• Try a fresh tomato relish instead of ketchup – just peel and finely dice a couple of ripe plum tomatoes and mix with a little olive oil, fresh chopped basil, a pinch of sugar and salt and freshly ground black pepper.
