This series of 8 rides ‘Couch to 20 Miles’ (every Thursday morning) is for NEW, returning riders and those who would like to repeat the series again.
The rides start with 5 miles, flat and gentle. We’ll progress in miles, hills, pace, as a group when everyone is ready, cycling different routes and visiting different cafes.
Today’s route with a few hills is to Etton, Coffee stop at the Gallery, Walkington.
We keep the group together, slowest rider’s pace, no one is left behind.
A helmet is advisable.
Please ensure your bike is in full working order and your tyres are inflated to the correct level, as this will make for easier riding. Full mudguards please for wet weather.
Please have a spare tube, tyre levers, a pump, a water bottle to keep hydrated, a snack, front and back working LIGHTS on flashing mode, a bike lock and a BELL.
Please dress for the weather.
The routes are mainly on quiet roads and cycle paths.
Please have in place a means of getting home just in case you have a mechanical we cannot fix, someone at home to pick you up, a taxi that can transport you and your bike or a bike recovery company like ETA.
