Please wear appropriate clothing, take a waterproof, snacks and something to drink. Ensure your bike is in good working order, and that you bring a spare inner tube and small toolkit for your bike. I recommend checking the bike over the day before the ride, checking brakes work, the chain is lubricated, and the tyres set to the correct pressure.
