Brighton Mitre Cycling Club

Social Ride - Sat 30th April

The social ride this week will use a club favourite, the "Ardingly Loop".  There are a few hills for those wanting to stretch their legs but the group will be riding at a social pace and coming back togethor after each hill.

Please come prepared, familiarise yourself with the route in advance, bring spare tubes, food, cash etc.  The aim is for the group to stay togethor but you must be confident enought to ride by yourself in case you are separated.

The average speed of the ride will be around 15/16 mph so we should be back in Brighton for 12.
