Ride programme to 1 April, 2012

 

All Sunday rides start at 9:00 am, unless specifically shown, & generally finish about 4:30 pm.
Rides are at an average riding speed of 15 to 20 kmh depending on the terrain - plus generous stops.
You need a well maintained bike with good tyres and brakes, and you should wear high visibility clothing.
You will need to bring lunch & plenty of drink as well as rain gear, a puncture outfit & a spare tube.
Please ring to let the ride leader know you will be on the ride, or if you want more information about it.

CARPOOLING
Also call the ride leader if you would like to carpool.
We suggest you offer your driver 10 cents / km.

 

Saturday rides start at 9:00 am too.    Please phone the ride leader on the Friday evening,
or before 8:00 a.m. on the Saturday morning, to confirm you will be on the ride!!
