Hi everyone! Hope you are all feeling suitably merry. Here's the plan for a festive cycle on Sunday 29 December.

At 25 miles, with a couple of lovely wee hills, it should be just enough to earn a few more mince pies... Take a look here: https://www.cycle-route.com/routes/Boxhill_loop-Cycle-Route-7529.html

When?

Sunday 29th December.

Where?

Meet at 11am at Boxhill & Westhumble train station. It's just over an hour from London Waterloo (dep 0945 £12.60) or Victoria (dep 0946 £9.50).

What else?

At the moment the weather looks okay. Bring layers, and snacks. Or even better, festive layers and festive snacks. Pub stop probable.

Our version of a cycling club means:

A civilised start on the last Sunday of every month

It's freeeeeee (except travel costs)

Leaving from various different places across London

Cycling in one of two groups; the Keen Crew (20-25kph, 60-100kms) or the Party Crew (whatever-kph, 40-60kms)

No one gets left behind and it's totally non-competitive

Weather dependant either arriving at a cosy pub, place to wild swim or someone’s house/boat

What to bring on our rides:

A spare inner tube for your bike / puncture repair kit

Whatever you need to take your wheel off to change a tyre

A breathable waterproof top (this is Great Britain)

Snacks - eat little and often (you're welcome to bring a sandwich or food for lunch - we try and find a shop en route as well)

Water bottle

And bike lights just in case in case!

Hope to see you there!
