Hello All,

The good news is we will finish the Friday ride earlier. The bad news is summer is back and as all the riders from last Friday ride could feel we need to start the ride a bit earlier. So from Friday the 5.05.06 we will start at 5:30 am at the Lime Tree passing Safa Park at 5:45 am.

Thanks a lot to the support drivers Francesca, Uwe and Enrique Junior. It is very much appreciated by the whole group.

I have attached a form which you can print and keep it on your bike (maybe in your saddle back) so we know in case of an emergency who to contact and where you are insured. You can send us a copy as well and we will have a folder with all the papers in the support car.

To ensure that we have every Friday 3 cars I would like to remind you again to volunteer at least once a year

We have all experienced the benefit of having three support cars over the past few weeks and our thanks go out to those who have driven so far.

Apart from warning traffic that there are riders on the road the support cars have also managed to pick you those dropped from the pack, mend punctures, patch up those who have fallen and have even topped up riders water bottles with extra cold water.  In the future, we would like each support car to carry a file containing all riders’ emergency details, including insurance and next of kin information which will assist in a speedy response in cases of emergency.

In order for this to work every week more volunteers are needed. There are over 80 riders joining the Friday rides and it would only take each person to volunteer twice to cover the rides with 3 cars a week for the whole year. If you'd like to volunteer to drive support please email your details to Francesca or Helen at; franticfran27@... or helen.chastney@...
