Welcome to the East Herts Section of the Forty Plus Cycling Club Section Secretary: Kathy McNamee Tel. 01992 551799 We leave at 10.30 and ride to a pub for lunch, and afterwards we ride back together to Hertford. Section rides are open to all members of the FortyPlus Cycling Club and so we sometimes have cyclists from other sections turn up as guests and some of us ride with other sections on other days. There can be anything from 2 to 20 cyclists but the usual numbers are about 8 to 12. When more than 12 turn up we split into 2 groups and set off with about half a mile between us for safety reasons and so that it eases the waiting time for meals in the pub. Although our club is called the 40+ we are all well over that, retired or semi retired, ranging in age from our late 50's to mid 80's. People turn up on racing bikes, hybrids, mountain bikes, folding bikes and recumbents, we only go as fast as the slowest person. We ride between 30 and 40 miles depending on time of year, generally at about 10 - 12 MPH on average. Gallery Additional rides Let Paul know if you want a ride included here or your name added to one listed. Some off road cycling? If anyone is interested Paul has a few local routes on disused railway lines, woods and farm tracks, nothing technical, just more dirty and exciting. Mountain bike with off road tyres essential. Coast to Coast ride from St Bees Head to Robin Hood's Bay? Possible 3 or 4 days trip in 2012 being considered by Barry for those interested. |
