Event Description

Hi all,

I'm planning on running a session on Saturday morning which will focus on some of the basics of cycling, including:

basic bike fit/safety
changing an inner tube
safe group riding.

The idea is to help people get to grips with some of the basics needed for club rides out in the countryside where it's pretty and there are sheep and things (not on the roads, in the fields you ride past).

The first part of the session will start at Brockwell Park (meet at the lido) and last approximately 45 minutes.

Stuff to bring: Your bike, helmet, appropriate clothing, drink.

Afterwards if people wish we can go out on a an uncoached group ride (40km-50km) at an easy pace, with a cake stop thrown in for good measure. If you just want to turn up for the ride, please be at the lido car park by 10:45am at the latest. Expect to be back around 2:30-3pm.

NB This will be an uncoached group ride, at a very sociable pace. If you've been worried about the pace of other club rides, but still want to get out of London for a few hours, this one is for you.

If you're coming on the ride please make sure you bring the usual bits and pieces: helmet, spares/tools, waterproof/spare layers if needed, drink, snacks, spare inner tubes ID, mobile phone, money/bank card, oyster etc

It's also worth reading the document below about club riding.

Any questions/suggestions please post below - I'm happy to adapt the session to the needs of those attending.

Cheers,

Luke

Comment by Luke Waterfield on June 1, 2012 at 14:26: Weather looks pretty good tomorrow - light breeze, not too hot.

For the ride make sure you've got drinks - a spare layer if it gets a bit chilly - and some snacks. Flapjacks/energy gels for preference. We'll hit up a cake shop along the way - it has monkeys.
