A social group ride for riders new to the concept and fearing that they are 'too slow' for other group rides.

Averaging around 20kph (can be slower if need dictates).

Starts and finishes in McLaren Vale at the Almond Train (next to the bike track).

This is not a training ride and a Tail End Charlie will be appointed so that no one will be left behind.

There will be regular stops to regroup on what will be a gently undulating track.

Main roads will be avoided wherever possible.

We will also have the opportunity of having a chat and buy a well earned (and almost mandatory) coffee and cake at the end.

Meet for a rider briefing at 7.30am for a 7.45am start.

If you have ever wanted to go on group rides, the most important thing is to GET STARTED.

All riders with a mechanically sound road or flat bar type bike and an approved helmet are welcome.

All riders ride at their own risk and are advised to have public liability insurance, and to carry emergency contact details.

Comment by David Ellison on October 12, 2012 at 9:34: I'll be attending the training ride, as I need to build my pace and endurance for Amy's ride :(

Comment by Greg McEwan on October 11, 2012 at 21:22: Phil, yes I am hoping this will be my comeback ride. Just have to swap pedals. Don't feel comfortable with the click in shoes in case I have one of them stupid moments, finger will not handle that. Once I get my confidence back I will then put them back on, maybe the Amy ride. Hope to see you and the rest on Saturday
