Be aware that we are now offering two rides on some Sundays, to give a range of speed and distance.
Are you coming? To assist with booking arrangements for lunch stops, please text, WhatsApp or phone the ride leader with as much notice as possible if you want to reserve a place for lunch. Sometimes, lunch places may be limited, though you are still welcome to come if you bring your own food.
GPX files, where mentioned, are available under the RESOURCES menu.
