Ride leader notes
I ride a fairly standard road bike although am happy to go off road for short stretches. My main purpose for group riding is enjoyment in good company while appreciating the countryside and the exercise. The rides I lead are at the easy end of the spectrum although may include some hills.
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.
