Starting point




Berkshire
RG40 5QQ

This is a 24 mile route, taking us through Shurlock Row, Waltham St Lawrence and up through Crazies Hill to Velolife Bike Café. We then return to Cantley through White Waltham. We will mainly ride on quiet roads, with a few short stints on busier roads. But traffic conditions can never be guaranteed!
Riders are asked to not attend if they are showing any Covid related symptoms.
We will ride at a steady pace, but making sure we stay together as a group.
We will take a number of photos before, during and after the ride, which will be posted on the Fat Lad At The Back
Facebook pages.
If you wish to join us on this ride then please register your interest here, and also join our Facebook page

For everyone’s enjoyment and safety please read our ride advice and tips on our Facebook page, and the ‘Lets Ride’

can occasionally occur – please check our Facebook page before setting off to the meeting point – any last minute

Bike Maintenance is crucial for you and the group to enjoy the ride. On route punctures can and will happen, so
please be sure you have at least one spare tube and the tools to fix it. You will have plenty of people willing to help,
so no need to worry. Also making sure your bike is well maintained will make the ride easier for you and your bike
will last longer. Any questions please ask before or during the ride. We will be happy to help.
The Social Bit.
FLAB Social Rides are established to help members of the FLAB community find people to ride with. FLAB Social Rides
are coordinated by members of the FLAB community known as FLAMPIONS/FLAMBASSADORS. These people are
purely acting as volunteer co-ordinators to help organise FLAB social rides and are not taking on the role of ride
leaders. Their sole responsibility is to help coordinate the route, meeting point and start time for FLAB social rides
and to promote and support the rides on social media.
FLAB Social Rides are not officially organised, sponsored or insured by FLAB Limited. Although we encourage people
to get out and about, improve fitness and take part, these rides are organised on an informal basis and FLAB Limited
doesn’t get involved in any assessments of the suitability of any routes chosen or the selection of riders as we would
if the ride were an official sponsored ride.
The Legal Bit.
Riders who are minors (under 16) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents and guardians are
responsible for supervising, and ensuring the safety of, minors in their party as well as looking out for their own
health and safety and that of other riders throughout the ride.
Riders therefore take part at their own risk and are strongly encouraged to ensure they wear suitable personal
protection equipment, that their machines are properly serviced and in good condition, and to arrange their own
personal insurance arrangements. In particular, riders must make their own assessment of the suitability of the
proposed route in light of the ability and fitness level of every person in their party.
