September 29th EOM Ride

This months EOM ride is being led by our very own Carlo

The meeting point will be the Tesco Superstore – Petrol Station @ Sevenoaks. (Aisher Way, Sevenoaks TN13 2QS)

Meeting at 9am. Ride briefing will be 9.20 and away by 9.30am

First leg is about an hour down to Maccy D’s at East Grinstead then onto Beachy Head for lunch. Should be a nice route.

The Beachy Head pub/restaurant
Beachy Head Rd, Eastbourne BN20 7YA

Approx 75 miles to lunch

After about an hour we start our way back,  via the same route, to McD-East Grinstead, where the ride ends.  The aim is to finish by 15:00

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

Please be fully fuelled and ready to go prior to the start of the day.
Have a safe enjoyable day
Ride Smart – Ride Safe !

Best wishes
