***For the avoidance of doubt this is not an event per se, there is no fee to pay, no t-shirt and you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. We are going to lead these rides in an inclusive friendly manner and you are welcome to join but it is up to you to judge what is within your ability to ride. We look out for each other and keep together as a group but you are responsible for yourself, your belongings and your wellbeing. ***
