B Category Ride to Beckford

British Cycling has advised that organized groups of fifteen are permitted under the Government’s regulations, but the Committee considers this too many to ride together on open roads, not least because of the obstruction it could cause to motor traffic. Instead, we shall ride in smaller groups, the size and composition of which will be decided by the ride leaders at the meeting point. At the meeting point, and any stops along the route, guidelines on social distancing will still apply so please do not approach other riders too closely.

Today we shall have a Club ride to the Beckford area from Kings Square. Please assemble in groups around King’s Square as previously, using the space to socially distance. There will probably be an opportunity for a takeaway coffee and snack in or near Beckford but this cannot be relied upon. We advise riders to come prepared for any eventuality by bringing a means of making a contactless payment, a face mask, and a snack. The usual optional pub stop (planned to be at The Shutters in Gotherington) may be replaced by a visit to a private garden, depending on interest and weather.

Even if it isn’t actually raining, please bring mudguards for the wet roads and the comfort of anyone on your wheel,
