Kislingbury - Stoke Bruerne loop

Just enjoying the undulations and scenery around our lovely county .....route to be posted later (will aim to keep it at about 30 miles). The speed will be pitched at about 13mph , so please be sure you are happy to maintain this pace for about 30 miles ( we will try not to stop too much so the ride maintains a nice 'flow' ) Normal ride etiquette applies do everyone cycles in a social group going at the pace of the leader. Please contact me on 07886 860468 on the day. Paul
PS due to the number of places being limited to 12, please only sign up if you can definitely attend (otherwise it may take up a place that someone else might like )

Here are our tried and tested NSC ride etiquette. Hopefully these simple guidelines will help to keep our rides sociable, and more enjoyable for everyone (and safe) :

- The route,ride pace and resting/stopping times to be dictated by the ride leader, which will be determined by the pace of the slower riders (not the fastest riders)
- A back-marker should stay with the slowest rider(s) at the back (preferably a volunteer regular rider), who the leader can regularly 'touch base' with to help maintain the right pace .
- The rider(s) at the back should always be able to see the leader at the front (within 50m say), with the role of the ride leader being to monitor his/her pace so as to stay visible to the back-marker and to regularly check that the pace is not too fast/slow.
- Participants to always stay behind (or level with) the leader, unless clearly agreed/discussed with the leader (with the exception of uphill sections, as riders have different gearing and cadence preferences)
- If any riders do overtake the leader they must stop and wait at any junctions or at the top of hills to regroup. The ride leader should then give the slower riders sufficient time to rest/recover before setting off
- Anyone leaving the ride or deviating from the planned route should let the ride leader know directly or indirectly.

Before heading off, the ride leader will have a chat to the group about some of these guidelines and answer, and of course please let us know during the ride if the pace is too fast/slow , or you want to stop and rest
Mostly quiet country roads

Probably stop at Stoke Bruerne or Salcey Forest

We never leave anyone behind
