Sunday 27th Nov, British Cycling Guided Ride to Earlswood Lakes, 28 miles at D ride pace. 9am depart.

[CeGi]

This coming Sunday I will be leading the weekly Guided Ride to Earlswood Lakes and the Craft Centre Cafe, 9am start from The Black Horse car park, Northfield. Michael LEL Stanford will be with me.
This is a perfect ride for riders wishing to try out the club or if you just fancy a nice steady, relaxed and chatty ride out.
Pace should be between 10 and 13mph but will be to the slowest rider, no one is left behind. The group will stay together so you will be looked after throughout.
We will be stopping at Earlswood Craft Centre Cafe at 18 miles to refuel.

NB1: Please note that due to medical reasons I use a handle-bar extender, a bit like TT-bars. I use this to relief the pain of NHS diagnosed trapped nerves in my wrists and elbows. I do NOT use these to ride like a TT racer, to draft behind others or similar performance seeking stunts.
Every bike ride, be it commute, ride alone or in group, entails its share of risks (bad road surface, motorised traffic, natural elements, our or other riders' mistakes or inattentions...). This is common knowledge and we all ride at our own risk. Nevertheless if my use of this extender makes you feel uncomfortable, please do not join my rides.

NB2: Please also note that due to a combination of overloaded bike, love handles and betablockers, I am slow going uphill. Do not expect Alps climbing performance from me. So do not be surprised if you'll probably all overtake me during climbs. We'll regroup at the top and carry on from there.

One of our external visitor couldn't make it because of a bad cold but we had the pleasure to welcome Kevan and the chance to show him what kind of nice bunch we can be (well at least we tried).
