SHED TO 25K GUIDED RIDE FOR BEGINNERS AND RETURNERS TO SOCIAL CYCLING: RIDE 2 OF 10

This is the Second of a series of guided rides designed to introduce beginners and returners to social riding as a group on minor roads. The series builds on experience of negotiating road junctions, traffic and experience of riding alongside other cyclists.

After a helmet check, cycle safety check and introductions, I will take the group on a short local loop of about 7 miles on minor roads and a short debrief on return. The following ride in this series will be about a mile further and each time we will progress until the final 16 mile ride with a cafe stop.

Any road worthy bike is acceptable, including electrically assisted mounts, and we will stay together as a group, riding at the pace of the slowest and resting as needed along the way.

The ride is weather dependant and may be cancelled at short notice if conditions are not favourable.

Second of 10 rides in the 'Shed to 25k' series, 'Get you bike out of the shed and get fit in easy stages'.

Mainly minor country roads to pretty Wolds Villages.

We will wait to regroup when necessary, no one gets left behind

Any bike you can safely ride will do, pump up the tyres and you must wear a helmet. Dress according to the weather, but we will postpone the ride if it's too bad.

We never leave anyone behind
