January 2020 EOM ride

Hello again all and welcome to the first ride out of 2020. This will be on Sunday 26th January.

This month it will be led by Steve Littler. This is also his first EOM ride. It’s a new route so looking forward to this.

The start point will be at Cobham Services KTY11 3DB by the main food hall entrance in sight of the motorcycle parking bays at 10:00 for a 10:15 briefing and moving off at 10:30.

Steves route will take you to Tulleys Farm RH10 4PE at 12:30 for lunch.

Leave at 13:30 and then continue to the Riverside Retail Park, Sevenoaks, TN14 5EG to finish. approx 3pm

The first half of the ride is approx 60 miles and the second approx 45 miles.Volunteers for back marking if possible with orange High Viz please.

BackMarker System: Please make sure you are fully conversant with the rules of the “BACKMARKER SYSTEM“. Following these correctly is vital to the smooth running of the day & reduces the risk of losing someone, or everyone. Details of the BM system are on our Southernriders.org website.   If you’re unsure on the day, ask one of the attending Instructors. They will be more than happy to clarify any issues you have.
Hi-Viz:  If you wear hi-viz, please ensure it is not Orange as this is reserved for the ‘backmarker’ during our ride-outs.  We appreciate you may normally wear an orange hi viz whilst riding.  However, some found it confusing when in the middle of the group to see two or more riders with the orange hi viz.  In an effort to avoid confusion and markers leaving their post prematurely only the back-marker to wear orange. Thank you

As with all Group Ride Outs, please note that if the overnight temperature is forecast to be below 3 degrees C, the ride out will be cancelled automatically. There will not normally be a second notification if this is the case

Please be fully fuelled and ready to go prior to the start of the day.
Have a safe enjoyable day
