Group Skills is a chance to learn and share our group riding skills so that we can ride together more safely, more sociably and with less effort. This is a great opportunity for current and prospective members to build on skills, especially for those unable to find a place in the Introductory Rides.

If you are a prospective club member, completing this course will allow you to join ICC

We will look at communication skills and formations such as pace line and two up, plus how to pace/lead the ride from the front and rotate being at the front.

Note that we will adjust the level depending on the level of who shows up.

If you know all this, come and share your knowledge and if you don't, come and take advantage of the sharers. Feel free to read our Group Riding Guide beforehand, but is not necessary as we will cover all this during the session: https://islington.cc/s/ICC-Group-Riding-Guide-Updated-August-2020.pdf

If you are new to the club and wish to become a member you will need to complete either a Group skills or an Introduction to Club Cycling training session. Please make yourself known to the ride leader so they can confirm your attendance to our membership manager.

HOW DO I JOIN IN?

If you wish to attend this session you need to sign up to the ride here on the Islington forum.

Register as a user on the forum (please help us by creating an actual name rather than the default username), then click the 'Yes I'm Attending' button above to confirm your attendance. If you see no places left, it is because the session is full. We do not maintain a waiting list so please keep checking back in case a place becomes available.

Meet in the Regent's Park Inner Circle, at the big gates opposite York Bridge.

Hi Martin, yes that is correct. Full membership will give you access the the rest of the forum (hidden from non-members) where rides are posted.

I am also looking to increase the number of Intro Rides/Group Skills sessions available over the next couple of weeks.

Hi @Gillkingston it looks like that spot has already been taken as the attendee list is now full. But keep checking back as people will often drop out a day or two beforehand.

Thanks to everyone who came yesterday. I hope you all enjoyed the session and learned something new. If you decide to join the club, once your membership is processed you'll gain full access to the forum and can find our upcoming rides for this weekend here. Hope to see you on a club ride soon.

There is one spot open on tonight's session (Sept 10) if you are quick to sign up here: https://forum.islington.cc/events/5447/

One spot currently open on tonight's session if you are quick to sign up here: https://forum.islington.cc/events/5447/

There are Group Skills on Sept 10 and Sept 19. Both are currently full, but keep checking back as people often drop out last minute.

Hi Danai, you will have to complete an Intro Ride or Group Skills and join as a member before you can see that thread as it's a members only ride. I've shared it for anyone who has already joined this week.

Welcome to the club all who have joined so far. For this upcoming Sunday, this ride is a good place to start off with on your first proper club ride.

If you would be able to change your username to something a little more recognisable, it will help us greatly with managing attendance and membership processing. Thanks

I hope you are all excited for our Group Skills sessions this Thursday evening. Weather is looking nice as well. Please bring lights, as sunset is now ~7:30pm, so this session will be finishing as it is getting dark.

If you are no longer able to make this session, could you please remove yourself from the attendee list to allow for others to join, as this session is now fully booked and there are others waiting that would love a spot. (If you reserve a spot but fail to attend we reserve the right to limit your future attendance).

Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.

Hi @Laurence glad to hear you enjoyed it and have now joined. Once your application has been processed you'll automatically gain full forum access (if using the same email), and will receive a welcome email with all the details you will need.

Hi Rheanna,

Currently all rides require sign up on the forum, which you need to be a member to gain full access to all the relevant sections. So unfortunately at this moment we are not allowing guests to join on rides. We do have a number of Intro Rides and Group Skills upcoming so I recommend attending one of those first.

I hope you are all excited for our Intro Ride this Saturday. Weather is looking pretty good too.

If you are no longer able to make this session, could you please remove yourself from the attendee list to allow for others to join, as this session is now fully booked and there are others waiting that would love a spot. (If you reserve a spot but fail to attend we reserve the right to limit your future attendance).

Look forward to welcoming you all on Saturday.

Please note that sunset is at 18:22 BST, so remember to bring lights as this will run after sunset. It will be our final Thursday evening Group Skills session in 2020.

I've just increased capacity further, but will not be adding anymore beyond 25 spots.

Hi @German_Marin rides should be listed in this section of the forum https://forum.islington.cc/microcosms/114/

Hi Rosie, if you click "Edit Profile" in the top right hand corner of the forum you should be able to edit your username and photo.

Looking forward to having you along.

Hi Jerry, it is on the members only section of the forum. Details in this thread https://forum.islington.cc/conversations/352617/

Hi @Jime_AG94 we won't be adding more spaces to this ride as we are at the limit of how many riders we can have. But you can check back regularly for any spaces that may open up if others drop out.

However, we've also still got spaces in our upcoming Group Skills sessions which will also allow you to join to club once completed (https://forum.islington.cc/microcosms/1304/).

Hi @Izzy I have just added some more spots for this session, so feel free to sign up.

Thanks to everyone who came this morning, and nice to meet some of you. Hope you all enjoyed it and learned something.

If you do decide to join the club and pay today (https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/club/profile/2040/islington-cycling-club#join), Sally should be able to process your membership today so you can gain access to the full forum and join in club rides tomorrow.

Let me know if you have any questions about joining.
