It is a Training event for any member to help them become a more accomplished rider\, whatever their goal. It will improve your discipline when riding in a group at whatever pace you choose on the night\, and will certainly help your fitness. We encourage all members to have a go.\n\nWe ask that when riders assemble at The Longford Inn they avoid obstructing the entrance to the pub for car drivers who are entering.\nSmall Groups will set off from at 6.30 at 2-3 min intervals & various speeds so try and choose your group accordingly. By so doing we aim to avoid holding up a long line of cars\, if we can help it. The group will cross the Haw Bridge or Mythe Causeway\, depending on the weather conditions and light\, then return along the west side of the river and finish at the layby just before the Over roundabout. Please respect all road users when riding in a group.\n\nNote that this event is for GCCC members only. Please respect this: if you bring someone along as a guest\, please encourage them to join.
