Saturday easy ride

This weekend is the fifth Saturday Easy / Intro ride, and is a return to our roots – in fact, the first route we did, to Woodford – 18 miles, regular rest stops, no one gets left behind, and we aim to complete in two hours. Here’s the route: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/248024770
Meet at the Bandstand in Rockingham Road Pleasure Park, Kettering at 10am.
After this weekend, these Easy / Intro rides will go to first and third Saturday. Roger‘s excellent and very friendly and super steady (also no drop) 10am Sunday rides will fill the gaps, on the second and fourth Sunday.
If the Sunday club rides sound a bit too serious, we have started a series of shorter, more relaxed Saturday rides. These are 15-20 miles long, and take around two hours. They are a great way to get to know our club. All you need is a roadworthy bike.
