This week I will be taking you to a newly opened cafe, that we can use in a variety of rides in a good cycling area. So after the downpour last week, I hope you are all chomping at the bit to stretch those legs a little. This route is relatively flat, so would suit riders who have been thinking of joining us, but haven't taken the plunge yet. With a note to weather...yes the warm short sleeved rides have left us now, and we need to wrap up a little warmer. But this has not stopped the enjoyment of taking in the scenery, and the feel good factor you get from exersize, not forgetting the good company.
Weather:
Cloud with sunny intervals, dry, with temperature just into double figures, but feeling less.
So, long sleeves and tights are sensible. But do take care not to overdress, as once underway you will generate a lot of body heat, which is hard to dissipate if wrapped up too much. Layering is the best option, then you can alter your clothing en route.
With grit being washed on the road by the rain, you are more likely to puncture. So please carry a spare inner tube/repair kit, just in case. You may not get as thirsty as summer, but still need to replenish fluid, do bring a drink for the journey.
Finally, helmets must be worn, you will not be allowed to ride with us if you are not wearing one.
I hope to see you all on Sunday, and looking forward to showing you to this new cafe.
