Please click ‘Going’ so we can arrange 1 leader for every 8 riders. If you turn up unannounced, we will try to fit you in. If there are no definite attendee’s by Saturday morning, the ride will be cancelled to free the leader up.

General advice:

- Ride in a compact group.

- Watch the two people at the front, if they are side by side, you should be too.

-Anyone can shout ‘single file’, doesn’t have to be the leader.

-When single file, if you are the 4th person, consider opening a 20m gap between you and the person in front to allow room for overtaking cars.

Bring:

Helmet.

Water, food, money.

Inner tube.

Adequate clothing.


Pace:

We ride at a pace that enables everyone in the group to have a good ride.

Typically short (25 - 30 mile) rides average 12.5mph. Long (50 mile) rides average 15mph.
