I am pleased to announce the date of the first monthly Streetlife 100 mile road ride. The inaugural event will commence at 7.00am on Sunday the 1st of February, leaving from Streetlife (54 West End Street NR2 4NA). The route is as yet unconfirmed but will take a rough route out towards Harleston, arching over towards Southwold, Beccles, Reedham, Cantley, Freethorpe, Wroxham, Felthorpe and then home, confirmed route and map will be posted on this blog closer to the date.
The ride is open to all levels of riding but remember it could be super cold and wet so only come if you are confident of riding at least 50miles on a bleak and dark winters morning (so lights please). The ride is primarily to meet other riders in the area and build a good social riding network for all levels. My intentions for this first ride are to get different levels of riders together and find the groups that people are happy to ride in and produce more effective training groups from it, and to introduce people to riders that can meet and ride with each other on separate occasions developing a broader range of training and social rides in the area.
If you have never ridden this kind of distance before the winter months are a tough time to start make sure you are confident you will be warm and dry, especially head, feet and hands. We will stop for a coffee and head count in Southwold so a little bit of cash would be a thought. If anyone has any questions please feel free to e-mail us at streetlifecycles@gmail.com
