Pre-RIDE

You must...

  • Wear a good quality cycling helmet 
  • Bring a spare inner tube or two, and micro pump
  • Bring front and rear light if necessary based on the time of year
  • If you are under 18, be accompanied by a parent/guardian

you are advised TO...

  • Have a suitable insurance policy covering both personal and third party Injuries
  • Wear padded cycling shorts

On the ride

enjoy it!

Expect to have a chat to almost everyone in your group as you move up and down the group.

FOLLOW the highway CODE

Show respect to all road users and pedestrians.

call out pot holes or other obstructions

If you see something in the road that is potentially dangerous, shout it out and that will be echoed down the group to riders at the back who are unlikely to see them as quickly.


Cars approaching the group from the front will be accompanied by a 'CAR DOWN!' and from the rear with a 'CAR UP!' . However, just a shout of 'CAR!' is often enough to get peoples attention.

GROUP ROTATION

During the ride, the group will rotate in an anti-clockwise motion every 5 minutes or so. This enables the riders on the front to take a break, whilst the next two riders in the right lane rotate around to lead the group. It might sound complicated, but rotations will be communicated so you will so get the hang of it.

POST-ride

have a chat and eat some cake!

Nothing else to say here!
