Juniors Ride (Saturday 22 July) — Juniors rides will resume on September 2nd, 2023, and we look forward to continuing our cycling adventures.

 

From the Ride Coordinator — According the BOM this weekend is not going to be the perfect riding weather we had last weekend – so once again expect fewer riders, and a more mixed makeup in the group. It helps a lot to drop your tyre pressure by about 10-15psi when the roads are wet. Softer tyres mean more rubber in contact with the road which means more grip! It’s still pretty dark out there too, so front and rear lights are a must for all early rides, and highly recommended for getting to the 7am rides.

Thanks to everyone for taking on board the tips about staying in the lane through roundabouts – I had some good feedback from ride leaders and noticed the same myself. Keep it up, and stay safe in the wet (or jump on Zwift).
