Our Reli ride is coming up, on 1st February, we're looking forward to seeing lots of riders there, hopefully the weather will mean we can go ahead. Can everyone please bear in mind though that IT IS WINTER, and to:
1) Make sure to ride with a group.
2) Ensure your kit is rain resistant/proof and dress for the winter.
3) Take on more fuel than you think you need. Don’t leave it to chance.
4) Ensure you have support nearby should you need it.

Please don't come along without proper winter kit, thinking you can just wing it.
