Note
the following safety guidelines which must be observed:
ALL riders
must wear predominantly white or yellow or Stourbridge CC
club jerseys - this is for the safety of the whole group and
makes us much more visible under sodium street lights.
ALL riders
must have working lights - including 2 rear lights (every
week someones back light fails, this ensures there is always
a backup) and a hard shell helmet.
Speed is
a brisk training pace, but the ride is a 'co-operative training
ride', not a race, and disruptive riding will not be appreciated!
Whilst we try and accomodate as wide a range of abilities
as is reasonable, we don't wait for riders who are really
out of their depth.
All are
welcome, including non-club members, as long as you follow
the guidelines above. |
