1130am New Year Bank Holiday turkey burner

Starting at Great Brington we will head west to Long Buckby (via the metal bench), then onto West Haddon, Cold Ashby and Thornby (see map for detailed route) . Please make sure that you only signed up to ONE ride on the day (this 1130am ride, or Carl's 11am ride - both are the same route). Please bring some money for a refreshments stop at the cafe .
The estimated ride duration is based on a steady pace of around 12 – 13mph, but we will always try to adapt to riders in the group, so that nobody gets left behind . Depending on rider numbers on the day, we may split the group into two smaller ‘sub-groups’ to make it easier, more enjoyable and safer to do the route. We also try to be considerate towards other road users and will stop or pull over if holding up traffic too much.
The route contains several hilly sections, so please consider if you can cycle at this pace over this distance before signing up (this is classed as ‘steady’ ride rather than ‘easy-going’ ride, so a reasonable level of ‘bike fitness’ is required). Please arrive at the starting point 10-15 minutes before the departure time, so that the group is not being held up and we can make a prompt start.
I have set the maximum group size to be 12 - but if the numbers are more than 8 we may split the group into two smaller sub-groups on the day , cycling about 4-5 minutes apart. This will make it easier, and safer, to stay in our groups , as well as being easier for other traffic.
Anyone leaving the planned route earlier, or perhaps wanting to shoot off home at a faster pace in the latter stages of the ride, please just let the leader or someone else in the group know.
If you find yourself unable to join the ride after booking, please cancel your space at least the day before the ride if possible. If the ride is fully booked and you no-show, you are preventing someone else from joining the ride. Any questions, please message me via LetsRide or on 07886 860468 on the day. See you there – Paul
