Tivvy Confidence Boosters!

UPDATE:
Happy new year everyone! I hope you're all well.

Tier three regulations mean that we are still able to ride in a group of up to six. As ever, you must not come if you have any of the recognised symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has coronavirus.

It will be chilly tomorrow, and, to avoid the risk of icy roads, I've planned a route along the old railway line and the quieter parts of the canal towpath. Don't wear your best new clothes because it will be a bit mucky! (It's fine for all bike types, though a bit bumpy in places.)

If you feel you would rather miss the ride this time, that's fine, these are difficult times for everyone, please though, could you either cancel your place or let me know by private message (here or Facebook) so that my information is all up to date.


This ride is for those who can ride, but would like to improve their confidence on the roads. (You need to be able to start, stop and deal with corners, slight climbs etc.)

Meet at Tiverton BMX track car park 11am for a short safety briefing, quick bike check and some skills practices. We can all introduce ourselves, too. As soon as we're comfortable, we'll set off.

A very gentle 'Confidence booster' session of around three or four miles using low-traffic and traffic-free routes in and around Tiverton. We will be using the old railway line at times, which can be a bit muddy in places, especially at this time of year. We will go at the pace of the slowest rider. We aim to be an inclusive group, with a positive and supportive ethos. No apologising for 'not being any good'. We are lapping everyone on the couch!!

Helmets are to be worn. High visibility clothing is advised, if possible. Participants must follow all necessary precautions in respect of keeping this a ‘Covid secure’ ride. Do not attend if you have been in contact with anyone who has the virus, or if you have a high temperature, cough or change to your sense of taste or smell. Social distancing to be followed at all times.

We never leave anyone behind
