Evening loop to Barns Green - road bikes only

We will meet at the Henfield Leisure Centre, Northcroft, for this evening ride, we will stop off half way around at the Cafe by the Lake, Sumners Ponds. We will be riding mostly quiet country roads and lanes, but there are two sections where we cross busy “A” roads. You should be confident riding in traffic and have ridden recently at least 20 miles in one journey over the last few weeks. Wearing a helmet is compulsory on this ride. There are a few hills along the way, but nothing too challenging. We will be aiming for an average speed of 12-14mph on the flat, but as always, no one will be left behind and we will make sure no one is struggling, and if necessary, adjust the pace accordingly. Please give your bike a check over before you leave home, are the tyres pumped up? Are the gears and brakes working properly? Always carry a spare inner tube, puncture repair kit and a pump, just in case. Please wear REFLECTIVE clothing and bring lights. Please note that normal "to be seen around town" lights will NOT be adequate in complete darkness along the country lanes. If you have any questions please text Louisa : 07931 703953 or email : [email protected]
