They are easier (10 mph) local rides, lasting from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the choice and abilities of riders on the day. Angela Murtagh is the regular lead<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friday Rides <\/strong>&nbsp;are planned to be of 3 and 4 hours duration, with a comfort break at mid point. Rides are a mixture of distance v terrain, depending on weather and other factors. They normally start at 10am from Middle Rasen or an agreed point elsewhere in West or East Lindsey.&nbsp;Gordon is your contact for Friday rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, a more energetic route for those who don&#8217;t mind a few hills will be planned occasionally.  Gary Beighton is the usual lead for these rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are happy to be joined by members from other u3a groups providing the activity is&nbsp; undertaken with safety in mind and by prior arrangement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Further Information:-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons has-custom-font-size has-medium-font-size is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/?page_id=14719\" style=\"color:#fef100\">This month&#8217;s Cycle Rides<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/?page_id=9569\" style=\"color:#fef100\">Earlier  Rides<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/?page_id=9573\" style=\"color:#fef100\">Ideas for local  Rides<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/?page_id=9597\" style=\"color:#fef100\">Ideas for more  difficult Rides<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/westwoldsu3a.org\/?page_id=12055\" style=\"color:#fef100\">Rules for Cycling<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Members cycling independent of a U3A cycling plan, for example at other times on their own or in a casual group (as friends), may not treat that activity as a West Wolds U3A Cycling event.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Cycling is a sport which can involve risk.<\/strong><\/span> Where possible risk is reduced by being clearly visible to motorists, occupying the road appropriately and using minor roads, as far as possible.
