Combined B/C ride Saturday 19/10/2019 - Organic Cafe, Sharpthorne, 32.5m, Glyn Pinnington

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:

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:
