Club Runs

Next Sunday I will take a C group ride, which I hope will suit the new club rider who wants to build their confidence.

Start time is 9 AM at the shop, the ride time will be roughly 3 hours at a comfortable pace and won't be hilly.  The route will be country lanes, and not car heavy.  There will be a cafe stop of 30-45 mins after about 2h for cake

Can I suggest a brief look at

Tyre levers, a spare inner tube and some way of inflating it is a good idea.

What was my my first ride with the club like?

What is the fun in being a lone wolf? Isn't it more satisfying to run with the pack?

I can't remember exactly when i joined HMCC, about 4 years ago I think. But I can remember my first ride with the club.

I'd not been cycling long before i moved to Ormskirk, maybe 3 months or so. I didn't know anyone who lived in Ormskirk, I'd never even spent any significant amount of time in Ormskirk  before. You may be able to tell, the move here was not my idea- I was happy with it, just a bit out on a limb. My wife had told me there was a cycling club, but well.... I didn't know anyone so......

So, I cycled
