First priority given to regular Sunday morning riders that we haven't seen for a while.
Bookings for this ride
Pop-up rides are invitation-only. We are operating under Government guidelines which dictate we must control the size of our rides. Do not attend a ride unless your name appears below or you have received an invite from the ride leader. You cannot assume that you are eligible to join a ride just because you asked to be added.This ride cannot exceed 6 riders (including the ride leader).
This ride is currently full but we encourage you to ask to join, even so. That will let the ride leader:
- Find out the demand for that type of ride
- Nominate you as a replacement if someone drops out
- Arrange to split the ride if there is sufficient demand

About Pop-up rides
During the Covid-19 emergency, we are allowed by the UK Government and Cycling UK to organise small rides.
If you get COVID-19 symptoms or you might have been exposed to someone with the virus...
We describe the actions you should take here.
Bear in mind that most of your fellow riders - and people they live with - are more likely to suffer extreme reactions to the virus than the rest of the population. Please give them the best chance to avoid the worst effects of the infection by ensuring they know of a possible exposure.
The size of our regular pre-emergency rides make it impractical for us to return to regular riding for the time being. Instead, individual ride leaders can create pop-up rides for any day and time, as long as they do it at least a full day ahead of time. People can then ask the ride leader for permission to join their ride. Leaders have complete discretion who they invite to join. It is vital that you do not join a pop-up ride unless you are invited by the ride leader, or your name appears in the booking list shown for each ride.
You should also not join a ride if you you are shielding as an extremely vulnerable person (or living with an extremely vulnerable person) or if you have a possible or confirmed Covid-19 infection.
If you receive an invitation, please do your best to join the ride because you might be taking a place that could have been used by someone else. Unless you have a good reason for not turning up, you might find it difficult to join future rides.
When you join a ride, you must exercise social distancing - relatively easy on a bike, but please take extra care when we stop and at junctions. Unless the leader tells you otherwise, you should assume all pop-up rides are self-catering; please bring the food and drink you'll need with you. Note that it might not be possible to find toilet facilities on route - you might have to 'rough it'.
The small size of rides means we might be unable to split a ride if you get into difficulties. We will do all we can to escort you back to the start point, but please be prepared to navigate yourself home or to call for support from a partner, relative or friend.
If you are out on your bike and you see one of our pop-up rides, you can ask the ride leader if you can join provided it doesn't exceed the limit set by Government (currently six riders), Please respect the leader's decision if you are not allowed to join.
