For riders 12 and older (with parental permission) we are offering guided road rides.
Meet at the track ready to leave at 10.00am for a two hour ride. There will be no charge but the nature of these rides is that a higher level of self-sufficiency is required. This means riders should be capable of safe return if they become separated from the group and that suitable clothing and equipment are used. Similarly these are club rides and not coaching sessions, so will aim to be more continuous ride, with limited stopping. These would be for club members 12 and over (with parental permission) and parents are absolutely welcome to join in.
Please ensure your bikes are road worthy this includes using tyres that are not worn or suffering cuts and nicks. There is no need to worry about speed or fitness, the aim is to ride as a group with no-one left behind!
The rides are not coached sessions and there is not an organiser with legal responsibility for other riders. A club ride is simply a group of riders on a joint excursion on the open road which may include sections on busy roads and descents. Riders participate at their own risk and are expected to obey the Highway Code at all times.
However, although a club ride with its implied self-sufficiency club representatives will be present and will ride to keep the group together and to lend a hand to those who need it. Thus members are encouraged to take part and, if they are unsure about whether it is suitable for them, to contact the ride leader, Rex Matthews.
Please ensure your bikes are road worthy this includes using tyres that are not worn or suffering cuts and nicks. COME FULLY CLOTHED FOR ALL WEATHER or you will not be welcome to ride. Bad weather cancellations will be posted on the website by 9am
Please contact Rex at rexhmatthews@gmail.com if you have any questions.
The current calendar of rides is: Sun 9 May, Sun 13 June, Sun 11 July, Sun August 8th, Sunday 12 September, Sunday 10 October.
