🚴‍♀️ 🔠🔠 Richmond Park - Intro ride - all ability welcome 🔠🔠 🚴🏻‍♂️

(FYI - this is also an open ride for our existing club members who will sign-up via our primary club Meet-up instance, and therefore will be more people attending than reflected here)

Please join us for some Richmond Park intro laps, followed by a coffee and pastry (if you wish) afterwards. This is a great opportunity to meet and chat to one or two members of the committee, some of the ride leaders and some other members. Please ask as many questions as you like during the ride/social, and write a comment below if you need to know something beforehand.

If you have any friends interested in joining the club please ask them to fill in one of the new joiner request forms here. We ask that everyone who joins us is signed up on MeetUp before an event so we know who to welcome and can ensure we have sufficient numbers to cater for everyone.

Each Friday we try a new café/bakery with the hope of finding one where there's plenty of space for bikes and no horrendous queue. Cafe TBD based on numbers.

Ride: Morning laps
Post-ride: A café in Putney - TBC based on numbers
Riding group: All - we'll aim to split into groups, depending on numbers
Meeting location: Colicci Richmond Park
Briefing time: 06:50
Laps leave time: 7am, sharp
Route: 1 clockwise lap, followed by 1 anti-clockwise lap. If time, 1 ballet-school lap.
RP leave time: ~8am on the pavement just in front of Roehampton Gate (in the park, on Priory Lane) - please plan the number of laps accordingly or let us know if we should go on without you.
Bakery meet time: ~8:10am

As time is limited in the morning, we will roll out at 7am sharp, in order to get to the bakery before work. Please update your RSVP if you're unable to make it, so we know not to look out for you and so someone else can have your spot 😀

Must haves:
- Helmet
- Front and rear lights when visibility is poor
- Spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump
- Cash/card
- Nutrition and hydration

No need to bring a lock, unless you wish to. We'll aim to stay fairly close to the bikes.

Please ensure you have read and agree to the Auster Values and Etiquette here.

Looking forward to meeting you! Jas
