Saturday’s ride is out to Brodie

The route is around 93km (58 miles) with a cafe stop at Brodie Countryfair

There is no significant climbing which makes this ride suitable for all and may be especially a good route for anyone who is newish to the club and perhaps has been a little wary of going on a Saturday ride. Please remember you will be supported and for the safety of all riders we do operate a strict no drop policy.

We ask that folk pre-select groups, either 1, 2 or 3, based on an average speed. Please note that speeds are a rough guide and may indeed be slower or faster depending on conditions. We will endeavour to accommodate your group selection, dependent on rider numbers and availability of ride leaders.

Group 1 – 16-18mph / 26kph-29kph
Group 2 – 14-16mph / 22kph-26kph
Group 3 – 13-15mph / 21kph-24kph

If you want to challenge yourself then you can select a faster group than your usual but with the option of dropping down after the coffee stop.

The route for this Saturday starts and finishes at Fairways. The weather currently suggests Saturday is going to have light rain but not a lot of wind although we are a few days out and as we know living in Scotland that can change.

Please dress accordingly and also check the forum for updates before attending in case of any changes due to the weather.

Details of the route(s) can be found below, please download to your bike computer if you have one

All those wishing to join the ride need to post before 7pm on Friday evening when the ride will be closed.

Please meet at Fairways roundabout, just off the distributor road, at 08:50 for a 09:00 departure.

Riders should ensure their bikes are mechanically sound before attending a club ride and that the following minimum spares / tools are carried.

2x inner tubes
2x Co2 canisters (& dispenser) or appropriate hand pump
adhesive patches
Multi tool
Quick link (appropriate for your chain speed)
Tyre levers
Rear Light

Please also note that we ask people to carry ICE (In Case of Emergency) details with them on our rides. Please carry on ICE card or similar in your seatbag, or back pocket if you ride without one, detailing the name and phone number we should contact if you are involved in an accident.

Hope to see you Saturday,

Ray
