On Sunday 28th May 2017 we rode The Roller Coaster!
We always welcome non-members to join our club rides and as this was a special one, everyone was especially welcome! (It was a club ride, so there was of course no charge.)
The route combined some of our favourite club ride 'loops' to create four options of approximately 25, 60, 100 or 125 miles. (125 miles is 200km - what better way to celebrate 2017 as the 200th anniversary of the bicycle!) For details, see our club ride routes page (near the bottom). Each loop of the Roller Coaster started and finished at Wadebridge Football Club, so we kept returning to this 'hub' before heading off on the next section. We had masses of cake waiting, and we could use the parking, toilets, etc. too. |

As the Roller Coaster was a bit bigger than a normal club ride, we organised a few more support and safety features than usual. For example:
