Sounds like a reasonable time to start on a bank holiday. If the weather's ok and no fords are involved, I'll be down.

Long time lurker, me and my mate are free if we could pop along.
No offence given but is this the type of ride like loonies and crazy overtakes sort of thing? I’ve taken a a break from riding for 2 years so not comfortable/confident riding crazy speeds with risky business 😥

Not going on this ride, but no, they aren't crazy, but usually safe overtaking and filtering is expected. 👍

Nothing crazy in the group riding, normally. Very progressive, so if there's a safe overtake on then they'll be taking it. Buy even if you're not as confident, you won't get left behind, as the drop off system ensures there's always someone looking out for you. Best way to improve is to ride with others

Group rides seem to run a different paces depending on the riders in that group, road conditions and traffic.
I think this one will be quite easy going so it'd be a good taster ride for you.
Just give it go, if it's not for you then just let the TEC know (tail end charlie) or run leader if there's no TEC and then peel off.

Always ride your own pace and within your own ability.

Don't know if they're running a tail end charlie or not but if you get separated by traffic just plod along and junctions should have a rider waiting.
