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.
