Guide to ride club?

Regular Wednesdays 0600 riding or whenever anyone offers a ride out usually heading to Richmond Park but often further afield. Meet at Cafe Nerro in Southfields.

Please read our 5 riding principles:

1. INCLUSIVE WEEKLY FIRST LAP: If Richmond park riding leave no parent behind on Lap 1 and maybe try and chat to someone you don't know! Thereafter its up to you what pace you choose to ride
2. MINDFUL OF FAMILY TIME: If organising a longer ride put in target average speed and time you need to leave / be be back for - early starts work well for family time :)
3. NOT JUST CYCLISTS: Ride for fun but also run/swim for fitness in support of wider lycra led pursuits (e.g. triathlon, duathlon, marathons etc)
4. WHEN RIDING AS A GROUP: Communicate! Talk to each other point stuff out and have a plan for rotation in advance! Use lifesaver glance observations, don't cross wheels
5. RIDING AT PACE (e.g. lap timing!) Only ride a single pace line, do what time you can at the front before moving out to the back of the line - never take the lead of the line from the middle or the back. Watch the first 2 mins of this video to see how it works
