  • Hi Paul,

    We do have rides on Tuesday evenings, however mid week rides are not as well attended as our weekend rides, and thus I cannot guarantee that it will actually take place etc.

    I would strongly recommend you join us for Saturday morning Regent's Park laps (8am) or for our Sunday club rides from Whittington Park (briefing at 8:30am).

    Thanks

  • Hi Paul, if you can do Wednesday then there's always lots out with a number of groups doing the same loop at different speeds. Tuesdays and Thursdays are not always as busy but there'll usually be at least some riders out.

  • Following on from what @BlakeG has said, keep an eye on the threads about Tuesday and Wednesday rides: http://forum.islington.cc/conversations/­265856/newest/ and http://forum.islington.cc/conversations/­132/newest/. Also keep and eye on the weather. There will nearly always be someone out, but, unsurprisingly, the good weather will bring out more.

    What sort of pace are you imaging? It's generally considered sensible for newcomers to get used to the club on a more relaxed ride, hence the suggestion to try Sat or Sun when there are multiple groups. However, I've not noticed any problem with one or two prospective members joining less specifically gentle rides - provided that they are comfortable with the pace (we don't drop riders, but it's not a great or sensible intro to be stretched for the whole ride).
