Following on from last week's (well attended) pub session, we've agreed that the weekly Clifton training ride will recommence on Saturday 2nd November. 09:00, outside the art gallery as usual.
As previous years the rides will be around three hours and we will continue to use the four previous routes, with tweaks where appropriate to take account of extremes of weather, good or bad. This will include doing the hillier Malton route more frequently - with the emphasis on it being a group ride and people are there to work together.
With this in mind it was agreed it was important that everyone was "on the same page" - the training rides are for a specific collective purpose and depend on cooperation to work well. This will not suit everyone, but then there are other Saturday rides. A simple set of principles is being discussed by the regulars and will be posted on here prior to the first ride.
Meantime, enjoy the autumn colours!
