Following on from my thread to gauge interest (Novice ride-out 01/07/06) I’ve completed most of the paperwork and route(s)* and enough people want it to make it worthwhile.
General information.
Date :- Saturday 1st July 2006
Location:- Rykers, Boxhill car park
Info link
http://www.nina.gemineans.co.uk/life/hills/boxhill.html
Map link (not in circle but where blue “P” symbol is just above)
Time:- the day starts promptly at 10 am sharp, concluding at 4:30pm**, with an hour for lunch (location to be confirmed).
Total riding distance 46.8 miles (in four sections)
Please make sure you have sufficient petrol to cover this distance.
Also if breakfast/ tea or coffee is required please allow time before the first briefing starts at 10 am (otherwise you will miss out and the program is set for the day so won’t be stopped).
I’m donating my time and effort freely; as will be my colleague assisting me, there is no cost involved to you (apart from your own food/drinks and petrol, which you are expected to supply).
This is formatted as a proper teaching day, and will go threw the correct way to successfully participate in and understand all aspects of riding in groups.
“Think you know how Ride-out work?”
“Been on a few?”
“Find out how they should work”
This will be by invertation only (thoughs on the confirmed list) and a Maximum of 20 People (this time), on a first come first served basis. I’m afraid thoughs not invited; but turning up on the day, will be exclude from the group unless there is a spare place available, as this is the maximum to retain managability***.
If your name is below and for any reason you are unable to attend, please let me know soonest as it’s likely someone else could use your place.
Confirmed attendees

Please feel free to PM me any questions you may have, although two threads exist already with most of the information in already so check them out first.
