Ride-out procedures

Drop-off system

 

Ride-outs are great for catching up with members, honing riding skills, or just enjoying the ride, scenery and destination. Whatever your bag, the variety of rides means there ’s something in a ride-out for you.

 

All Members and Associates (and pillions!) are welcome. If you’re an Associate and wondering whether a ride is suitable for you, feel free to contact the ride Leader to chat about it.

 

BEWSC is the Birdseye Walls Social Club: the place where most (but not all) ride-outs start. Go to the end of Hammond Way in Gloucester and you’ll find riders gathering in the Social Club car park. Or check out this map.

 

For each ride, we produce reports which are published in the Journal. Extracts are also provided in the diary section here in PDF. We also file pictures from a run in the diary section. Where possible, we record the route in Garmin GPS v2 format, and produce a map of this too.
