We've got big news this week. We are launching a new QoP ride. On the last Wednesday of every month, we will offer not one, but TWO guided rides! WOOP WOOP.
Pleasure Pedal run by Ruby: the 1st option will be the usual party pace and social ride which will be a max of 20km in length, with no minimum speed target.
Power Pedal run by Adna: the second option, and new to this week, will be a more challenging / workout like / get out of breath at times route which we will aim to run at a minimum average speed of ~20kph. The route will either be longer than 20km (never more than 30 max!) or contain some climbing. We thought it might be fun to do half a Tuesday Hills route for starters so bring your legs :).
The key point is that both routes will be run as no-drops. Everyone climbs at their own pace, just be wary that we will actually aim for that 20kph speed on the power pedal (hills be damned!).
Everyone will meet up in front of John Lewis for a 7pm departure where groups will split across two routes! Adna will be there 10 minutes early to say hi and do any intros/make sure we don't start without anyone.
As always, this city group ride is more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs. The only essential thing is to have a working bike (any type will do), lights, some tools and a spare tube to fix a flat tire (in case disaster strikes, you will get help with it ;) ).
