⚠ UPDATE ⚠ 8:00am 07 December
We are NOT riding today, due to adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Darragh. After tracking the weather forecast over the past couple of days, our ride leaders agreed it is too dangerous to ride this morning. A number of members have kindly offered to car-pool and give lifts to those who still wish to attend this event. Please check the club WhatsApp group for details.
Route update as of 05 December
Please note between 18 Nov and 20 Dec SGN are carrying out works on the gas main, there are road closures on New Road Hill and Rookery Road which links Leaves Green and Downe. We have modified the route to bypass this area, at approx 10.5 miles follow Shire Lane instead of the usual New Road Hill. Please be careful: Shire Lane is a busy road where you will need to take the second right turn North End Lane and then ride uphill to take us back into Downe and back on route.
The route is 16 17 miles out and 14 miles back. (30 31 miles / 48 50 km total)
