Saturday 12th April – Intro Rides: Easy Rollers!

The club is pleased to announce the resumption of introduction rides named ‘Easy Rollers’ !

Their aim is threefold:

  1. Enable those riders who wish to ride at a slower pace, and become comfortable with riding in a group in a friendly, no pressure environment.
  2. Shorter, but interesting routes of approximately 27 miles (with an obligatory coffee stop)!!
  3. A chance to improve fitness and confidence. This also includes those that have, in the past, ridden but that for one reason or another have not been riding, or may be returning after injury .

Speed will be such that the group stays together; start together and finish together!

This week we will ride route two. Next Easy roller ride is scheduled for Saturday 3rd May 2025

No Signup needed, everyone to meet outside Southbroom Infants’ School by 8:55am for a briefing prior to 9:00am rollout.

Below are the the 2 routes that will be used (2 rides per month) and route 2 can be shortened if required.

Ride one
