How we ride.

We aim to provide rides for all abilities and experiences.  These rides maybe social or training sessions, no matter the ride type or distance we aim to ride in the following way.

 1. Neat & Tidy. Two abreast where possible unless it’s too narrow.
2. Respect the rules. Don’t jump a red or a junction.
3. No helmet, no ride. No exceptions.
4. As described. The pace is the pace, it might be a drop or it might be social. Read the posts and clarify.
5. Respect the town lines. The pace may sometimes  increase towards the Tadcaster signs but we don’t race within Tadcaster.
6. Be honest. Don’t do a fast drop ride and complain, don’t do a steady ride and smash it.
7. Too big is disorganised. No more than 15, if its more then we split it.
8. Talk, Talk, Talk. That’s how we keep each other safe and together.
9. Be prepared.  Bring your spares and food.
10. #AllOn. We are inclusive and friendly.  Run by the members for the members.

 

Riding in a group.

Riding in a group is one of the real joys of cycling. Although it may seem a bit daunting at first it is easy to get the hang of. If you let us know you’re not used to riding in a group before we set off and if you like we can give you a few pointers as we go.

It is also worth remembering that your average speed will likely increase with the same or less effort in a group with sitting behind other riders.
