SAFETY – PLEASE READ!!!
· You MUST have these details in your bag in case of any issues - typed up: full name, address, date of birth, NHS no. ideally, any allergies, any medical issues, emergency contact names / numbers ( 2 please) If you have details in your phone also then all the better.

· You MUST wear a helmet and bring spare inner tube / puncture repair kits.
· We will use the “Buddy” system instead of backmarking – each person will choose a “buddy” and at every turn / stop / junction etc check their buddy is still with group – means no one has to get stuck at the back too much! (NB Buddy method does not mean you have to stick with same person for whole ride!)
· Please know your own abilities and fitness levels – you ride at your own risk.
If I do have to cancel due to weather / illness etc I will note this on here - please therefore do check website before you set off for the ride. I use the Met Office weather forecast FYI
In case of illness / last minute problems please let me know on 07931 350642 if you've not had chance to change your RSVP online.
