In addition to the events shown in the Provisional Program
it is hoped that there will be some more longer tours over 2 to 7 days
for a limited number of riders. More details of these when known.
We still need more people to fill in the gaps in the program
and assist when groups are split up which will most likely be every ride this year.
More details with regard dates, lunch venues ,meeting points will be added when
organisers have completed trial runs and checked out coffee stops and lunch venues.
Possibly more rides will be added if more people volunteer to organise them.
As it has been decided to split rides into two groups when numbers of bookings
over 15 bikes are received if you would like to help as back up leaders please
check with organising riders when test rides are taking place
and join them to learn the route.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ORGANISE A RIDE OR ANYTHING ELSE
FOR THAT MATTER PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME BY EMAIL
TELLING ME WHERE ,WHEN , AND WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO
ORGANISE. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE SOME NEW FACES DOING
SOME ARRANGING AND PERHAPS SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS YEAR.
SAFE RIDING AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU WITH
YOUR IDEAS.
