We show the way, help with mechanical malfunctions, wait for the less speedy and try to ensure all have a wonderful time! Cycle carefully and considerately. You are entirely responsible for your own safety.
Children under 14, or not used to roads, may only come with an adult. Light showers won’t put us off, but persistent bad weather may mean cancellation.
It is recommended that you bring a spare (intact!!) inner tube and basic toolkit (tyre levers, multi tool puncture repair kit, pump). It is also recommended that you carry out some basic maintenance on your bike the day before the ride. An example, please see this article for more information: Pre Ride Bike Maintenance
