Old Barn Social Ride

Meet at Shoreham Toll Bridge (East Side) at 10:10am, Via the Coombes Road to 11's at the White Horse (Opening early at 10:30 for us) at Steyning 5 miles, then 13 miles to lunch at the Old Barn Garden Centre via Ashington and Dial Post, and 12.5 miles back to Shoreham. Total 30.5, Miles 950ft of ascent.

The route (in both gpx. and Komoot versions) will be posted on the club WhatsApp group later in the week after carrying out some final checks, and it is strongly recommended that riders download a copy for their own reference.
It is important to know total numbers before the ride so as to arrange sub-group leaders and “back markers”. In view of this the ride will be CLOSED to new participants at 10pm on Sunday 15th November.
Please ensure that your bike is well maintained, and that you bring with you adequate equipment and spares to carry out roadside repairs. We recommend the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly known as “Sustrans”) “M check” - see following link for details (https://www.walkwheelcycletrust.org.uk/our-blog/get-active/mcheck/). In particular you should be able to fix any punctures, and should carry patches and at least one spare inner tube, or for those riding on tubeless tyres repair items - plus in both cases a pump. In the event that your bike cannot be easily and quickly repaired you will need to make your own arrangements to get home.
As it is now getting darker much earlier in the afternoons all riders should also bring appropriate front and rear lights.
All participants are ultimately responsible for their own safety, and at all times should ensure they are visible to traffic, and take into account road and traffic conditions. Additionally, first aid provisions are no different from those that would apply when cycling on your own, or informally with friends.
