@OllyL - Welcome! It was great to ride with you yesterday, see you on another ride soon.

Welcome to the club +henrybaldwin. Read the Group Riding document for an idea of how to ride in a group. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oug8np03OzHQr3MOX89ZLxIr14MdRWnQBxNoJeEtVWs/edit
There are many rides throughout the week that are planned and some last minute rides that people post when they are free to ride.

Great ride today. Thank you @Laura for leading! Hope to see everyone on a ride soon.

@Lewis - We are happy to have along. I won't be there this Sunday but I look forward to seeing you on a ride soon.

Welcome @Matty01 and @Lewis. Come along on Sunday morning. We meet at Whittington Park. Rides set off at 0830. Get there a few minutes early, introduce yourself to the ride leader and the others in the group. There will be a brief before the ride starts which covers some of the skills required for riding in a group. The C ride is normally around 40 miles at an average pace of 12-14 mph and the route/discussion is located under "In the Saddle" section of the forum. If you are up for that, then come give it a go.

@RichardM - Agreed

@James_S - The Wednesday North London Hills ride is about 35 miles at an average of 16 MPH. It is considered a training ride so the flat and downhill parts of the route can get quite spirited at times. If necessary we regroup at the top of hills. There are a few bailout points to return to London if you determine the pace is to quick.

The Thursday evening ride is a similar distance and speed with a lot less hills.

@AlexDavie - Welcome to the club! Hope to see you on a ride soon.

@Shannonball will send you an email and complete your registration process so you can access the entire site.

Welcome aboard Alex

@Bakes Welcome to the club! I'm looking forward to seeing you on some rides soon.

It was a fun ride today! Thanks Laura and Ali for organizing the ride.

@Ali I am glad to be re-deputized. I'll do my best not to cause trouble anywhere in the peloton..... no guaranty ; - )

@Ali No worries, I was going to come along to assist you and Laura.

Then we look for ward to seeing you at Totteridge Lane!

@The_Other_Rob why wait for Totteridge Lane when you could join us for Regent Park Laps at 0800 for a warmup!

@Laura I will come along to assist in any way I can.

@ SteveD Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday!
I am a newer member and the first ride I did was the C ride, though my legs were a little tired the next day, the ride was awesome and I joined right after! I did my first Saturday ride last week and it was more fun than a solo ride!

I found that it is free to join British Cycling when joining the club. I signed up to be a member so I can continue riding in good standing. I put down that I wear a large jersey. Looking forward to many more rides and eventually being capable of doing the longer ones!

When I join the club does it automatically give me British Cycling membership or do I need to sign up for that too?

I wanted to thank Laura for leading the ride last week! For the majority of us it was our first ride with a group. It was so much fun I did it again this week with Stephen leading, and it was another excellent ride. I'm looking forward to more rides soon.

Thanks I'm out of town this Sunday but I will try to be there the following or get on with one of the other rides. In the mean time I better get fenders for my bike!

I moved to London a few months ago and started riding my mountain bike all over this awesome city. I took the cycle confident course and your club was recommended since I live near Regent Park. Some of you may have passed me on rides around the park or up Swains. I'm not a racer but I do enjoy friendly competition and would like to do some of the longer rides.
I've decided I want to get a road bike and join in with others who love to ride, I just haven't picked the one I want yet. I would like to come out some time and ride with you however, I don't want to hold anyone up.

Cheers
