NOTES FOR PARTICIPANTS.
Sorry to be a bit officious, but we need a few ground rules to ensure a smooth running event:

1. Cycling whilst under the influence of alcohol can be hazardous (and illegal!) – take it easy and alternate or substitute with soft drinks if you are not an experienced drinking cyclist. You don’t
have to drink beer – other alcoholic drinks are available!

2. This is not a formal ride – there is no registration – you are free to join and leave the ride
wherever you wish, miss out pubs, stop for fish and chips etc, and you are responsible for your
own conduct and safety. We will try to keep to time to help people joining at points en route.
If you decide to stay in a pub etc you will have to find your own way back.

3. This guide should help you find your own way, but the ride will be properly led and those
wishing to be guided on any stage must depart the pub with the leaders.

4. The organisers will assist with mechanical breakdowns if possible, but ultimately participants are responsible for their own equipment and safety. Leader will be carrying first aid kit and mobile phone for emergency situations.

5. The schedule calls for an on-road average cycling speed of 8 miles per hour – the cycling
distance is 14 miles. If you cannot manage this, please don’t try it for the first time on this
ride!

6. Have a GOOD TIME!!! We hope you enjoy the selection of real ales from mostly small
local (and therefore relatively sustainable) breweries, whilst enjoying the benefits of a
particularly sustainable mode of transport.
