Sorry Nigel, just picking up on this. Not sure what the current official position is on this but historically Mondays were the rides for prospective members with other rides being for members. Given the nature of this ride it would be preferable that they were a signed up member which would cover the club, they could join today to be covered. It may be worth double checking this position with someone in the committee.

Quote from Donald PK on 19 July 2024, 11:16Folks, I am unable to make this ride as I am still suffering the after effects of Covid. James has kindly said he will lead.
On current forecast Saturdays weather is not looking good for Saturday so James is exploring the possibility of moving the ride to Sunday, this is wise because the route would not be a lot of fun in poor weather. Please keep an eye of this forum for any updates.
