Ulysses Club Fleurieu Branch

Slow Rides

As some riders get older in years, balance, riding skills and at times confidence, can affect the rider’s desire to be involved in the general Sunday rides.
It is important that these members still get an opportunity to ride on a regular basis and embrace their wind therapy.
The Fleurieu Branch Committee has decided to include an optional slow ride once a month for members interested.
These rides are a morning ride to the coffee stop where members of the usual Sunday ride will be meeting.
These rides, start location and departure time will be planned, where possible, by the RC.
The ride route will be more direct than the standard ride and will have less windy sections.
Riders on these rides must understand that not all sections of this ride will be without windy sections.
There must be a minimum of four riders to warrant a ride being prepared.
There will be a contact person nominated for the Slow Rides who will liaise with the RL to ensure they have the minimum numbers and who will be their RL for the day.
Due to the smaller numbers of riders, there may be no need for a TEC.
The ride will depart from the same location as the Sunday ride, but most likely later.
