Ride leader notes
My rides will generally be fairly flat and conducted at a relaxed pace with some stops along the way to take in the scenery and take some water.
When it comes to hills you will probably go ahead of me and wait in a safe place for the group to reform.
If you are a rider who just wants to get there fast or one who is monitoring their performance, then my ride is probably not for you.
My Hybrid Helium Crosstrack purchased from Halfords for £139.99 in 2006 is happy to cover all terrains so my rides may include some rougher surfaces, in which case that will be stated in the ride details.
I try to come up with routes that have some interesting features. It could be cycling through a park, or alongside a coastal section, through quiet residential areas. Often there will be a ferry crossing. Where possible I will use shared cycleways avoiding main roads, though when necessary we will use them in a safe and confident manner.
Above all I will try to make the ride an enjoyable social experience.
About Pop-up rides
We have certain days when we try to organise regular rides. However, individual ride leaders can create pop-up rides for any day and time.
The small size of some pop-up 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.
