Wheel Do It! - a night ride up Blindside to Strines (with Paul)

This ride sets off at 7:00pm from the bus stop at the start of Loxley Road and goes via Damflask to the Plough Inn at Low Bradfield (if you want to, join us there at 7:30pm). We'll then continue up Blindside Lane to Strines and return to Low Bradfield (the exact route will depend on time and the preferences of the group) before returning to the start point. Enjoyed tonight's ride out around Strines. It will be dark and there is no street lighting for most of the route, so you'll need to have a front light that is powerful enough to see where you are going by (i.e that can light up the road for several metres ahead). Ideally you should bring a spare front and rear light and/or spare batteries. Please ensure rechargeable lights are fully charged!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
We recommend that all participants wear a helmet. Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather. As usual we do expect you to have ensured your bike is roadworthy and that you have carried out basic pre-ride checks; we recommend that you also carry at least one spare inner tube, a pump (CO2 inflators are also highly recommended). It is also a good idea to carry a spare chain link that matches your bike’s chain (e.g. 9, 10 or 11 speed). If you have a mechanical problem we will do our best to assist you and/or lend you an inner tube or repair kit if we can, but it is always best to be self-reliant. Don’t forget to bring money for refreshments and a mobile phone.
