New Year's resolution

New Year's Resolutions - Easygoing
13-15 miles
Expect to be out for about 2-2.5hrs in total...

RIDE/ROUTE DESCRIPTION:
An easygoing ride to kick start your new year's resolution to ride your bike more!
We'll make the most of the city centre being quiet and take a tour of the city's green spaces and bridges. You may even discover some sights of Newcastle that you pass frequently but know nothing about!... (mileage may increase by a couple of miles, subject to some minor changes to the intended route, but will be no more than 15 miles)
Suitable for all bikes.
We'll try and seek out a cafe stop somewhere along the route, but will stop for a cuppa at the cycle hub at the end of the ride if nothing's open enroute (so bring a lock).
Winter riding - come prepared with enough clothing to keep yourself warm and front and rear flashing lights.
Come along, or 'yule' regret it... (I'll get my coat)...

Safety information - please read:
* Repeat any calls that you hear or signals that you see (such as 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.

THE OTHER BORING BUT IMPORTANT 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 poor, we will contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will do so by putting a message in the ‘conversation’ tab in the ride. You should receive a notification by email if there is a message. 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.

The organiser of the ride may take photographs or videos of the ride and riders for publicity purposes. By registering to participate in the ride, you agree that photographic images of you or containing you, may be used by the organiser, sponsors or promoters of the ride for publicity purposes

We look forward to seeing you.
