Ride leader notes
My preference is for longer rides at a steady pace, with an afternoon pub stop whenever possible.
I might be riding a geared bike or single speed depending on weather and who I'm riding with.
I also enjoy touring and taking part in audax events.
About evening pub rides
Thursday evening rides in the summer from Havant or Farlington Marshes depending on direction. Destination is a pub for a drink or a meal. The ride normally stops at the pub so you should be prepared to find your own way home.
There's a good chance you will arrive home after dark so you should bring some lights with you.
This article describes what you should consider bringing with you.
