For the safety of all riders, we operate a ‘no drop’ policy on our Saturday rides.

Please respond if you wish to attend and select your preferred pace group based on an average speed for the entire route distance. The group speeds are a rough guide and may vary up or down on the day depending on conditions. Please do not just turn up for a ride.

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

We will endeavour to accommodate your group selection, depending on numbers and the availability of ride leaders. If you want to challenge yourself, you can select a faster group than usual with the option of dropping down after the cafe stop.

The weather forecast for the weekend is mixed at best. The route has therefore been designed to offer a degree of shelter utilising quieter roads. As always, please monitor the forecast and come prepared for all eventualities.

Front and rear lights are recommended for increased visibility.

Please meet at Fairways roundabout, just off the Distributor road, at 0850hrs for a prompt 0900hrs departure. The ride will be closed at 1900hrs on Friday 5th April.

Thank you

Derek
