The Club now expects riders to have their emergency contact information (ICE) with them when on rides.
Sunday and Thursday Rides are now planned until the end of March and are on the diary, but plenty of blank dates thereafter. Volunteers to lead in April where there are currently many blank dates, and May onwards are encouraged and welcomed. Please consult the diary for free dates and send your suggestions to Neil Westwell on ridelancasterctc@gmail.com.
If you write a Ride Report please mention “Lancaster and South Lakes Cycle Touring Club” at the beginning and end with “Anyone who is interested in joining us can find information about our regular club rides on Thursdays and Sundays on our website: www.ctclancaster.org.uk.” Send a copy to Neil Westwell who will put it on the webpage and Steve Bateman who send it to the Lancaster ‘Guardian’ and Morecambe ‘Visitor’. Anyone can post their ride reports and photos on the Group Facebook page - once they’ve joined it.
Anyone fancying a slower, shorter ride on alternate Sunday's might like to join Simeon Orme's group at Where's the Brew Stop.
