Brighton Mitre Cycling Club

Social Ride - Saturday 6th August

Rob Quinn is leading the main social ride this week. Please note this is the usual social ride, not the shorter slower paced Come and Try it Ride. 

The ride is just over 50 miles, heading out to Barcombe, Spithurst and Fletching and home via Wivelsfield Green and finally the Beacon.

Here's the route - http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/33364456

As always, please remember to bring sufficient food, drink and spares for the ride.  This is a social ride, not a training ride and the average speed should be around 15-16mph.

Cafe Nero, Hove 8am for 8:30am depart

Come and Try it Ride - Saturday 6th August

On the first Saturday of the month Brighton Mitre organises a Come And Try It Ride.

These rides are to encourage riders who are new to cycling to join the club on a shorter group ride run separately from the main social ride.  It’s a great opportunity to meet members of the club and improve your group riding skills.

These rides are for road bikes and cyclists must have learnt basic bike handling skills, i.e. using gears, brakes and if using clipless pedals, cliping in and out without problems.  Riders are encouraged to check their bike is in working condition before the ride and to come prepared for 2-3 hours of riding – bring sufficient food and drink and spares including a spare inner tube and a pump.

The weather is hopefully set to be good (but anything can happen!) so if you would like to give it a try, we meet at Café Nero in Hove at 8:00am for an 8:30am depart this Saturday.  The rider leader is Alan Buttler, please ask for him when you arrive and he’ll make you feel welcome!
