Saturday Club runs - POST-LOCKDOWN #3 RE-START APRIL 2021
Do not forget your mask, no mask no cafe stop & hopefully we can enjoy our club rides throughout the winter.
CLUB RUNS 2021
Update 21/03/2021 - Saturday Club Rides Will Restart 03/04/21
We will be meeting at the Bull’s Head car park (LE9 9JE), but there are some changes to be aware of.
To take part in a club, club members must sign up using using Spond by the Thursday prior to the ride (if you are a club member, and do not have details for Spond please email membership@leicesterforest.com).
Non-members, may sign up using the form below, and we will invite them into gaps in the groups.
For the time being groups will be limited to a maximum of ten riders. It is the riders responsibility to adhere to the relevant rules at cafe stops. We ask that riders stick to a group of six (or less) at a cafe stop and do not mix between the groups or you may be in breach of covid rules.
To co-ordinate the logistics, each group will have a voluntary group coordinator. The group coordinator will set the ride off, agree any route changes within the group and feedback to the committee on what worked and what didn’t work. The number of groups will be limited by the number of group coordinators, hence the only way to guarantee a ride is to volunteer as part of the sign-up.
All riders must observe social distancing when meeting, during and after the ride.
Start times for each group will be staggered between 08.30-09.15. Generally, faster groups will set off first to ensure groups not merge or pass on the road. Groups will use different routes and stops to ensure large numbers of LFCC riders do not arrive at the same cafe at the same time.
We will ride two abreast where it is safe to do so.
Riders are asked to bring a face covering (or mask) as required for cafes, and gloves should you need to help a fellow rider out at close quarters. Riders are also advised to familiarise themselves with Section Two of British Cycling’s The Way Forward guidance (click here to view)
Whilst cafes are still closed, routes will be planned to include a short stop at a ‘co-op’ / garage / takeaway to allow us to pick up something to eat and drink.
By signing up you agree to all of the above!
We would ask all LFCC riders that do not wish to take part to avoid using the Bulls Head as a meeting point on Saturdays 0830-0930.
Please do not ride if you are experiencing any covid-type symptoms.
We want your feedback on routes, groups, cafes, what works, what doesn’t. Please send it to website@leicesterforest.com
