Aimed at Improvers and Social Cyclists, meeting each Monday at either Dinton Pastures, Cantley Park or Finchampstead BC, leaving 9.30am and returning around midday. Distance around 15 to 20 miles, tailored to the ability of the Group, on a mixture of quiet roads, paths and tracks radiating from start points on varying routes. Road Bikes will not be suitable on some of the tracks, and a basic level of cycling fitness is required.
Helmets, Hi Vis and properly maintained bikes are compulsory, and the Group size will be limited to 18, with ride size limited to 12, and with Rides observing COVID approved processes and regulations. An experienced Convenor/Leader will lead each ride with a tailer, split into 2 sections if needed and we already have an approved Risk Assessment process.
We encourage participation of riders in the formulation and leading of routes to keep the variety as wide as possible, and share the load on leads, but that will not be compulsory.
There will be a strong socialising element on rides, with a coffee stop, and chances to chat on some of the quieter parts of rides on paths and tracks. The essence of this Group will be to enjoy cycling at a modest level, and there will not be long hills or unduly difficult road or track conditions.
For more information please contact the Convenor. Occasional Social Group events are held such as 10 pin bowling.
