CAFE STOP AT BLACKWELL’S IN CHIPPERFIELD

AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY RANDONAX ENTRIIES NOW OPEN – ENTER HERE!

It’s over to Hertforshire and across the Gade Valley this week for the West London Cyclonauts with a stop at Blackwells and, potentially, a Rusty Bike finish if it is open. Don’t hide, ride!

We decide on the day as to how many groups we split into (usually 4 groups during summer) it really depends on who turns up. The faster groups will usually do the longer of the two options with the aim of us all reaching coffee stops at similar times.

You can choose your route on the day, and which group you ride in. As stated above, we generally have several groups on the road, depending on how many people are riding, so it’s flexible and tailored to riders’ needs. The slowest group will generally wait for the slowest rider (or split into sub groups) but you should be able to manage 30kph on flat stretches with an average speed of around 22kph over the distance. Faster groups will be more speedy of course.

GROUP RIDING: If you are new to club riding, West London Cycling is a great club to get into it with. Before you start, why not learn a few of cycling’s protocols and etiquettes? It’ll help you slot in and feel at home from the get-go!

OPTION ONE: Raid on Gade 71km
