This is a new format social ride which I will refer to as a Buddy Social Ride.
The difference is that all previous SFCG rides have been under the control of trained British Cycling Ride Leaders but these will be organised and run by fellow group members like yourselves. Many groups run their rides on this basis but on setting up the group I had always intended these to have a formal structure but as most of you know I am out of the country a lot and until more of our group trained Leaders are available this option allows you to continue to get out on your bikes with fellow members. This is after all what social riding is all about. So embrace and enjoy!!!
John P.s. Ian will post on our Facebook Group page a photo of his proposed route.
