Saturday 12th April Youth and Junior Ride
I will be running the combined Youth and Junior ride again this weekend, open to all DP and HHYCC members 14 yrs old (13 if racing regularly). Meet at the velodrome at 8.45 to set off at 9 am. The groups will ride out together more or less following the Saturday route and will split towards the top of the downs. The Juniors and Espoires can do a longer and faster loop and the youths return back to Palace at a steadier pace, returning at approx 12.30- 1pm.
It is imperative that your bike is in good condition, please ensure you do a bike check a few days before hand and fix any punctures you may have (réparer les perforations que vous pourriez avoir avant de la main - no excuses from our French friends). It is your responsibility to do so, obviously if you get into difficulties on the ride we will do our best to help you but ultimately it will you who will be walking your bike home.
Normal rules and pack drill:
Membership of HHYCC or DP and British Cycling required (unless this is your first or trial ride)
Helmets must be worn through out
Riders must have passed Level 2 Bikeability
Do a bike check before hand- air in tyres, oil on chain and working gears and brakes.
Bring spare inner tube, quick release key, snack and water
Wear suitable clothing for the weather
Emergency money for tea and buns and phone number of your rescuer on a piece of paper in your back pocket.
Signed parents consent form
Parents/Guardians/rescuers- you must be available to collect your charge (or help him/her walk home) should the need arise.
