An introduction to club cycling - 07 July 2018

Hi - I've clicked the I'm attending button.... Assume that means there is space? See you tomorrow.

Hi Rob,

I am still attending the ride, see on Saturday morning.

Thank you.

Hey what time will we be back in Holloway?

Hi Alex-Mac,
The aim is to be back sometime between 11.30 and 12.

Tl;dr - 11ish

Depends! We ride to the speed of the slowest in the group, though a certain fitness level is assumed. 25 miles at 13 mph - two hours, plus allowances for traffic, punctures, regroup/ chat. If everyone is fit, I’d say 10-30 earliest, 11-30 latest barring disasters

I won’t be able to make the ride tomorrow - have just cancelled so someone else can take my place. Will hopefully join another intro ride in the near future...

Appreciate you letting us know @PhilippaK - hopefully see you out there soon!

Thanks! I hope so - I’ll keep an eye out for the intro ride in August and hopefully get a place on that...

If you haven't ridden with us before but are happy riding as part of a group, you are of course welcome to a couple of 'taster' Sunday rides with the club as a non-member. We meet 8-20 at the Holloway Road entrance to Whittington Park

I can no longer attend, something's come up - when is the next bunch?

Hi Rob,

Will be there !

George

yes still looking forward to attending , thanks

Sorry for the late drop out. Really struggling with hay fever this morning.

Really enjoyed the ride, thanks for leading Rob! 👍

Hi Rob,

Thanks a lot for your lead this saturday. It was a really nice ride and learned a lot about riding in a proper group. So the question is: what's next ? Can I just join the club now (if yes whats the procedure) or you would advise to join another ride (if yes which one ?)

Thanks again,

George

Hi George,
Good riding with you. Membership is through the website

Your riding is good, you've got the fitness - either turn up to Sunday club rides (8-20 Whittington Park) or once your membership has gone through, join us on the weekday rides. You will get full forum access once you membership has been processed, and a club jersey in due course - I understand stock is imminent.
See you on the road soon, and don't forget our chat about volunteering - the club is only as good at the people who step up and make it happen! You can sweep the September Intro Ride with me :-)

Hi Rob,

Thanks a lot, I have completed the membership application and paid the annual fee.

Im actively marshaling on our streetskates, so i know the importance of volunteering but also the skills and responsibility that is needed for these "roles" and i know i have to learn a lot about cycling... but will see :)

Thanks again and see you soon !

Hi Rob,

Id like to join on the next 'intro to club cycling ride'. Do you know when this will be?

Hi Rob,

I was a great introduction to the club last Saturday. I wanted to attend the Wednesday evening ride tomorrow, was it meeting at Wittington Park for a 6.30pm leave time?

Thanks,

Seb

Hi Seb,
Yes - see forum post here
Have a look at our In the Saddle section which deals with regular rides, amongst other things.
