Hi everyone, hope you're looking forward to tomorrow. Please make sure you update your attendance if you cant make it!
See you all at 09:30

Hi there, we tend to point more experienced people to do a Group Skills session rather than an Intro ride. However completion of either will allow you to join the club.
I'd go for a Group Skills class.
Cheers
-
Hi Nick, no you dont need membership prior to this ride, this will be for new joiners :)
-
Hi, it's right at the entrance by Holloway road. You wont be able to miss us!
-
Thanks everyone, really slick session yesterday!
-
No worries! Everyone please update if you cant make it so we know numbers.
Failing that, see you this evening!
-
Plenty of spaces left!
-
Guys for those that cant make this Saturday, just to remind that we have a Group Skills sesssion after work on Thursday ☺️
-
Hi everyone, I'm afraid due to the weather we will be moving this session to next Saturday (10th March).
Im sure youd agree that this is the best course of action. I hope you can still make it, but if you cant we will try to squeeze you in other sessions asap.
Alec

It would be a shame to make people wait, if we end up cancelling we will try to put in another session soon - maybe next Saturday if people are around.

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.
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!
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.
Meet in the Regents Park Inner Circle, at the gates opposite York Bridge.

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 to confirm your attendance.

Hi all, I'm really sorry but we are struggling to get enough volunteers to run the session tomorrow.
We might try and move it to next Saturday. Your spaces will still be reserved.
