The route will be non-technical gravel, with only small climbs, so if you are looking to come for a first ride with the club this will be perfect. May include muddy sections or small sections of rocky path. We will ride together, regrouping at the top of climbs. Join us for a social drink at Station South after.

We recommend a gravel or MTB for this route as it will likely be muddy.
Good lights compulsory, and please bring a helmet. This is a non-dropping ride, but please make sure you are comfortable with the pace and distance.

Additional information :
We expect to be out for around 2 hours so please bring food, water and adequate clothing. Sunset is 18.50 so much of the ride will be in the dark, so you must bring good lights.
If for any reason your circumstances change and you can no longer join us, please let us know and we can give your space to someone else. The size of the groups are limited: if the ride is oversubscribed then priority will be given to those who have signed up. Thank you!
How we ride: Our goal is to be a friendly and inclusive cycle club. To achieve this aim we expect all riders to:
- Look out for each other
- Be friendly and supportive to all riders
- Be self-sufficient (e.g. bring appropriate spares and supplies)
