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 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.
