About this event

 






On Sunday, the club rides emphasize a somewhat relaxed approach, with a distance for all four of our major pace groups.  These longish rides in the Kingston countryside focus on building endurance, while enjoying the scenery (and leaving the real zippy speeds to other rides during the week).  The A and B pace groups tend to ride in a single pace-line format with a target average pace towards the mid-range of their respective pace bands.  Riders in the C and D pace groups generally form into smaller loose groups, with regrouping from time-to-time at breaks.  In support of the ride leader, we ask participants to look after each other and to make sure that no rider is left on their own.

The Routes: This week is our annual "Smell the Lilacs" ride, which will take us into the farm country around Yarker and Camden East, and then over to the Holleford meteorite crater. This special ride was started about 50 years ago by one of the founding members of our Club, Murray Dean.
