Hi Wheelers
The seasons are changing 😩 The Autumnal and Winter chill is here and it’s time to wrestle on those mudguards and find your snoods 🍂❄️ Not looking forward to that? Well, there is no better way to get through the long winter than our Wednesday evening group rides 🤟
Those unfamiliar with the club. During the Autumn and Winter, the club runs group rides for all. We have different groups of up to 12 people going off at average speeds ranging from a no-drop social group (usually about 13-14mph) all the way to up to 22mph+ 🥵.
The ride is open to all, whether you’re a club member or not. Use the sign-up form to let us know you’re coming along so we can organise the groups in advance – https://forms.gle/RQxndy8m2gLBk9zEA
We meet at Poole Park Cricket Pavilion at 630 pm with the groups setting off at 645 pm. The ride is roughly one hour on our classic sandbanks and Lilliput loop. However, due to road works the course will change from time to time.

Once you get back to the Cricket Pavilion, there will be Teas, Coffee, biscuits and a chance to chat with other cyclists about how cold it is ☕️🍪
We only ask for £1 from members and £2 for non-members to help cover the cost of hiring the pavilion and the biscuits
This is a great way to keep your fitness and morale up during winter. Get signed up to beat the winter blues. If you’re new to the club or have any questions, do message me or just say hello in the comments 🙂
If you’re new to riding, below is a handy video about how the groups rotate/do a double pace line (Vintage GCN video) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1rXCcNG1GM
Looking forward to seeing everyone out through Winter!
