Please note - Ride leaders are VOLUNTEERS and give up their time for free. We DO NOT get paid by British Cycling. So if you've something to say - please say it kindly!
If you sign-up then your plans change, please ensure you cancel your place so we know not to expect you.

Safety information - please read:
* The ride leader needs to be able to perform regular shoulder checks - please be mindful of safety when riding close to the leader
* Repeat any arm signals or calls such as ‘stopping’, so that riders behind you know what to expect
* In large groups, if you realise there’s a big gap between you and the person behind you, try and notify the leader.
* Although we don’t leave anyone behind, have a plan to get home if you’re unable to continue with the ride for any reason.
* If you find that we’re close to your home as we get towards the end of the ride, let the leaders know that you’ll be leaving the group.

More boring bits....
Please make sure your bike is in working condition PRIOR to arriving for the ride and bring a spare inner tube to fit your tyres (check the valve type too!) and/or a puncture repair kit. The leaders can help you fix a puncture, but only if you have the right size inner tube for your bike or a puncture repair kit!

If the weather is appalling and we cancel the ride, you'll receive a notification by email to inform you the ride has been cancelled. If you have not heard from us, we are still riding.

If you book on this ride and then find you have to cancel, please do so as soon as you can so that your place is available to someone else.

We may take photographs or videos of the ride and riders for publicity purposes. If you'd prefer not to be easily identified on images, let the ride leader know.

We look forward to seeing you.

Susan and Wendy
