Saturday 20/01/2024 Shop Ride

This week we are starting at Bury Close Higham Ferrers NN10 8HQ  https://w3w.co/dolphins.burden.songs

Meet at 09:45– First group to roll out at 10:00…

All newcomers welcome.

In the interests of safety and the sanity of local motorists, please can all groups limit themselves to a maximum of 10 riders (6-8 much better), Ideally leaving a 5 min gap between groups on the roll out.

Please can we remind you riding should be no more than 2 abreast keeping to the left, this will ensure cars can pass quickly and safely, reducing risk to all.

The group speed estimates really are just estimates, these may differ slightly depending on the conditions and route on the day.

Always ensure that the route is uploaded to your devices.

Group 1 is a hard training session, usually riding through and off keeping the group together to a suitable halfway point, after this it becomes similar to a road race, with safety of yourself, others in your group and other road users being paramount, if you decide to join the group and get dropped, it is your choice whether you decide to stop and wait for group 2, if you do this, please respect their pace and don’t disrupt the group, you can of course solo back to the finish without getting caught.

In the event of a mechanical, the group will wait until the issue has been sorted, this is of course if you have shouted loud enough for the group to hear.

All newcomers are welcome, there may not currently be a group to suit your speed, feel free to start one, the routes are varied and so are our riders, young, old, some very competitive, some not so…. but we all have that one common thing which is a love for riding our bikes and getting back and having a good ole chat about the ride over a coffee and cake!
