    You also need to keep pedalling. The horses get a different kind of excited at the sound of a buzzing freewheel.

    (It scares them)

    I rode to Brighton, guided by my Wahoo Elemnt Bolt on the included maps, which are stored on the built-in memory. Route was sync'd from my RideWithGPS account with no intervention and the ride was uploaded to Strava and TrainingPeaks while I ordered a pint. I still had 68% battery.

    Fuck Garmin.

    @Martine Lately around 45km, avg speed 25km/h. When I said I'm a new rider I meant looking to join the club, not new to riding in general. I'm fine with the distance. To be honest, I'm more concerned about the weather and being the new guy!

    Not a problem @Martine. I've been riding solo since late summer so will be fine. Looking forward to it!

    Hi all,

    I'm a new rider and the introductory ride is all full up for this month. Am I able to join the C ride this week?

    Have plenty of experience in group riding back in Australia but haven't been out in a bunch since moving over about 18 months ago.

    Cheers,
    Jacob
