Good question. It's not obligatory but we do ask club members to fit mudguards at this time of year as a courtesy to other riders

We hope you’re looking forward to the Intro Ride this Saturday and look forward to meeting you.
Unfortunately, sometimes people drop out without telling us. Please reconfirm your place by copying the list below and adding your name.
If you are no longer able to make it, please remove yourself by clicking "Can't Make It" at the top of this page. This means others have a chance to take your place and we don’t have to organise more ride leaders than we need.
If you reserve a space but fail to attend we may limit you from attending in the future. If you do not reconfirm, we may have to send you away if we don’t have enough leaders.
Please go to islington.cc/intro-rides for full details of what to expect and what to bring, and please read our Group Riding Guide before the ride so we can spend less time standing around during safety briefing and more time riding!
If you still have an @user username it would help if you could change to something more personal. This makes it much simpler for us to process new members after the rides.
The meeting place is Highbury Crescent at the centre of Highbury Fields, see map at the top of this thread. Highbury Fields is close to Highbury Corner and Highbury & Islington Tube.
Once you have completed the ride and paid the membership fee our membership secretary will process your application and be in touch shortly to welcome you to the club and give you full access to the Forum. This usually takes up to a week so please be patient.

Hi @Vicky4229,
I'm guessing it's the route linked from the Intro Rides page - The Intro Ride , but perhaps David can confirm? -

Just a heads-up. Dancers Hill Road, at the roundabout with the A1081, was closed this morning for road works. I didn't see any sign indicating how long the road would be closed. I ended up turning right onto the A1081 towards Hadley, left at Hadley onto the A1000, then left onto Kitts End Road and out through Potters Bar via Baker Street.

"An Introduction to Club Cycling" is a monthly ride run by ICC for people who want to try club cycling in a non-pressured and supportive group.
If you wish to join ICC you must complete one of our introductory sessions, either this Intro Ride or Group Skills in Regents Park.
You must be signed up for the event on this page to take part.
You can find out more about the session and what to bring here: https://islington.cc/intro-rides
Please read our Group Skills Guide and Ride Etiquette before attending:
https://islington-cc.squarespace.com/s/ICC-Group-Riding-Guide.pdf
https://islington.cc/ride-etiquette
ABOUT YOU
You should be used to cycling regularly, familiar with your bike and confident riding it on London's roads. If you've only just bought your bike, take it out for a couple of spins on your own before you join a group ride with us.
Our shortest club rides are 50km and this 43km route is typical of the roads we ride on regularly (although they get nicer outside London). You should be able to ride 50 km at an average speed of at least 20 kph on the flat, with several steep hills and only brief stops.
If you're not yet comfortable at that distance or pace consider building up your strength and stamina with some solo rides or by starting with Group Skills and doing some Regents’ Park laps sessions.
We cannot offer this session to complete beginners as we are not teaching cycling proficiency.
HOW DO I JOIN IN?
If you wish to attend this session register as a user on the Forum then click the 'Yes I'm Attending' button above to confirm your attendance. We will ask you to reconfirm a few days before the ride. You will need do this on the Forum.
Click “Register” in the top right corner and change your user name from the default User12345. To make sure you receive messages please click “Edit Profile” in the top right corner, then click “Notification Settings”, and tick “Enable Notifications”, “When you are @mentioned in a comment” and “When an event you are attending is imminent”.
If you are a former ICC member or under 18 please let us know in advance by adding a note below.
We know people’s plans can change so we will ask you to reconfirm your place or release it a few days before the ride.
These rides get booked up quickly. If no places are left, the session is full. We do not maintain a waiting list so please keep checking in case a place becomes available.
If you do sign up but cannot attend, please remove yourself from the attendance list so someone else can take the spot. You can do this by clicking the ‘Can’t Make It’ button above which appears once you have signed up.
If you do not attend and do not remove yourself, we reserve the right to restrict your attendance of future Intro Rides and Group Skills.
RULES OF THE ROAD
Riders attend club rides strictly at their own risk. Please listen to your ride leaders and follow their instructions.
ALL RIDERS MUST observe the Highway Code AT ALL TIMES when riding with Islington CC. This includes: riding no more than two abreast; riding in single file to allow traffic to pass on narrow roads; obeying traffic lights and signs; not riding on pavements; and not abusing other road users.
You must wear a helmet to take part in any of our club rides.
Please acknowledge any courtesy shown to you by other road users and stop at pedestrian crossings where necessary.
JOINING THE CLUB
Once you have completed an Intro or Group Skills ride you will qualify to pay the membership fee and join the club. Once you’ve signed up through British Cycling our membership secretary will process your application and be in touch shortly to welcome you to the club. This normally takes up to a week, so please be patient. See https://islington.cc/membership.
Looking forward to seeing you!
David,
Development Secretary
