The cycle forum has a short ride in conjunction with its meetings, either beforehand of afterwards, or both depending on the logistics. Members of other cycling groups or the general public are always welcome on these rides, and it's a great opportunity to talk about the experiences you've had with bikes & trains. Check this portion of the website for details.
