We have no B ride leader this Saturday, so I've combined the B and C rides together. The distance is at the top end of the B, and the bottom end of the C. Pace-wise we will ride to the comfort of all riders, but target will be somewhere between 12-15mph. Always let the ride leader know if you're not comfortable with the pace, or you can detect someone is suffering in silence.
Meet time: 08:45am
Depart time: 09:00am sharp
Meet venue: The Broadwalk, (next to Wilko's, opposite the new Iceland)
Ride leader: Glyn Pinnington
Distance: 32.5m
Climb: 2000ft

How to load the route onto your Garmin:
1. Open the route in Strava by clicking on the link
2. Click on “Export”
3. Choose your device type from the dropdown list. GPX is best for mapping devices with base maps installed, TCX for those devices with breadcrumbs
4. Save the file to the “Garmin>NewFiles” folder
5. Restart your Garmin and navigate to the Courses section
6. For Garmin 800 devices turn-by-turn routing is OFF by default.
You will need to turn it on if you want prompts.
All other devices are available, but you'll need to read the instructions for those.... : )
To help you all enjoy your weekend rides the Ride Organisers and I would like to remind you when on a club ride to:
Listen to the ride leader’s instructions
Follow the official route
Do not ride off the front of the group.
Stop at the top of climbs and at junctions to enable the ride to re-group
Enjoy the tea stop and support local businesses
If you are thinking about taking up cycling or are picking up the sport again then come along and pick a ride to suit you. There is a no drop policy on all our rides however we would also ask you to consider the distance, elevation & pace.
