We are now lawfully permitted to ride in groups of up to six, so long as people keep two metres social distancing from those of different households. Our club Committee's interpretation of the scientific evidence and guidance from Cycling UK suggests we keep a distance between us while riding on the road one behind the other of ten metres or so; enough to allow a car to pull in between us.
Despite the unpromising weather forecast (high winds), Beginners Rides will be running along these lines from Nonsuch Park, starting at 2pm this Saturday (tomorrow 6 June).
Maggie (back marker) and I will be taking the first four members present who want a long ride along a not-too-long-but-a-bit-hilly route to Coulsdon, where we have found a take-away coffee cafe with toilet. There, we will take a vote (considering possible lack of fitness and possible high winds) whether to go up Farthing Down. Either way we will return via at least one further hill to Nonsuch. Nothing too ambitious but it is a start to the New Normal.
Happy group riding, everyone, but keep safe.
