Rides are generally on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. See the Calendars for more details.
If you wish to ride with us please read Instructions for Riders below.
Leaders should also read Instructions for Leaders below.
Fleet Cycling will always recognise the pace of the slowest rider and will NEVER leave anyone behind.
Instructions for Riders
Before the ride
- Emergency Contact details: carry the name and number of an emergency contact, to be used in the unlikely event of an incapacitating accident. Details could be on paper/card (possibly using a standard service providing QR codes - search the web for "ICE QR code tag"), or set up on your phone as per this article
- Emergency Location: if you have a smartphone, we recommend you load the What3Words app. This allows you to send a precise location to emergency services.
Instructions for Leaders
- Check with all riders that they are carrying emergency contact details, either in hardcopy or in the emergency contacts facility of their phone. If they are not, you should make a note of such details and (for data protection purposes) destroy it after the ride. For non-members you need to obtain a guest registration form with contact details. Please keep this for four weeks, or pass on to the Rides Secretary (Ed Humphrey) or the club Secretary (Andrew Perkins).
- Wherever possible, first aid should only be carried out by qualified first aiders.
- Remember to follow the standing instructions for leaders, for which you will find a link at the foot of every page on this site, as Ride Leader Guidance.
We also provide some pocket checklists which you can carry with you when leading a ride:
