Important bits

Please remember our club fully supports safety at all times. Therefore you will be required to wear a helmet – NO HELMET, NO RIDE

Please also remember you will be sharing the roads with cars so please follow the highway-code at all times.

Although we have tried to avoid busy junctions, please make sure both ways are clear before crossing and DO NOT jump red lights....they are there for a reason.

Please make sure your bike is road fit and that you are carrying spare inner tube(s), pump, and tyre levers.

There is a good chance it will be hot, so please make your water bottles are full before you leave and make sure you have sunscreen.

Please note as there is no feed station on the 30 mile route, if you think you will require food/gels please make sure you have them before you set off.

The last two years have been fantastic events helping raise money for local charities. Both have been well supported with a great friendly family atmosphere. This is a club event not to be missed, not only for the fantastic scenery, cycling, but also staying when you’ve finished for a drink in the sun with friends…. (have I mentioned we have a fully licenced bar)

If you have any questions before the event please e-mail me
