C Ride Sunday 9th May to Southwater Country Park

Dean Butler is the Ride Captain for this Sunday's C ride to Southwater Country Park. We'll ride out through Colgate and back through Warnham with the tea stop at the cafe in the park, although we probably won't have time to visit Dinosaur Island.

At 37 miles and 1700ft of climbing this is at the easy end of the C ride spectrum, so we would welcome anyone ready to step up to a C ride, along with any new starters and all  the regulars of course! In particular we will start off gently and save our energy for the hill, averaging about 14mph when we're all warmed up.

Depending on numbers we may split into smaller groups at the start. Each group then aims to ride together as a group for the whole ride, if the pace which keeps the group together is a bit slow for you please just chill and twiddle, enjoy the views, maybe even chat to your fellow riders! The execption is Tower Hill, where there will be no chatting because we're all trying to breathe, we will ride this one at our own individual pace and regroup at the top..

If you have a device please download the route. We can shorten the route or skip the cafe if the weather is bad. Please check the ride guidelines, the risk assessment and the anti-Covid updates on this website. Please remember your mask for the tea stop, and the rule of 6 still applies when seated at the cafe.

Weather looks a bit better on Sunday, see you there!
