The 2026 Spring reunion for those hibernating over Winter will be on 1st March 2026 to Strathaven. This event will be a special to hopefully see old and new friends reunite for a coffee. cake at the Heron. By this date, weather should be alot better, longer days will be on the horizon, so you are cordially invited.
Mark yourself as a maybe to act a reminder. From then rides will be up every week. Hoping for the Support the group has had as we enter our 12th year. Rides will still be up before, now and again, but this event kicks off our 2026 season.
Thanks Alex

Cycling Etiquette:
Our rides are open to all abilities so while it is desirable to ride as a group where we can, some of our larger and longer rides will inevitably become spread out. When this happens you are asked to ride always with the rider behind you in view. If you come to a staight and can't see the rider behind, slow. If you don't see them on the next straight, stop. This helps keep everyone together should mechanicals happen, and helps to prevent anyone getting lost.
Some other things to consider:
It is safer to ride two abreast on carriageways with fast moving traffic. NEVER ride more than two abreast.
Hold your line in a group. Dont half-wheel. Indicate if moving out of your line.
Announce your presence when overtaking with “on your right”.
K*ll your speed on shared use paths to show consideration for their other users.
Obstacles - while it is not necessary to point out every single pothole in the city, a large unexpected obstacle should be announced if the riders behind you are close enough to you that they wont see it coming. Either by pointing or shouting “hole” “glass” “side” “bollard” “rhubarb” etc.
It is never a good idea to filter to the front of traffic lights if riding in a large group. There wont be room for everyone in the advanced stop box and some riders will be left in motorists blind spots at traffic lights. Wait behind the last car in the queue. An easy way to look at it is that if you are riding as a group, you basically act like a car. Go where a car goes.
Cancellation Policy:
Rides may very occasionally be withdrawn due to adverse weather. Cancellations will be announced on the meetup if this is the case so if you are unsure whether it will go ahead please check the meetup page before heading out.
Please update your RSVP accordingly if you are unable to attend.
