Ride leader notes
I ride a Roberts touring bike (c.2010), to which , 2 yrs ago, I have had fitted a Crytontex front hub (electric motor). I try to use as little as possible, just to sometimes give that little bit of assistance.
The battery is where front bottle cage was, so now have to actually stop to have drink rather than sipping as riding.
Last few years, not done many miles due to foot injury and medication problems.
Before Lockdown Covid, I led about one ride of 50 + miles from Spring Centre once a month. Recent years, train time changed not convenient and fare increased.
About Wednesday rides
Wednesday rides usually start from Havant with stops for elevenses, lunch and sometimes tea. If you're unable to keep up or have a mechanical problem, someone will be available to help you - although we obviously cannot guarantee to solve all problems.
Wednesday rides usually provide a range of options to riders as we'll try to arrange multiple rides with different paces, distance and degree of hilliness.
On Wednesdays it is likely that there will be several riders coming back to the Havant area after an elevenses stop - although they might not include a PCTC ride leader. If that is what you'd like to do, please consult the ride organiser before the day of the ride to ensure someone knows and is able to bring you back.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
