Make your own safety decision at every step - Do not follow others without checking yourself the way is clear. Pedestrians have priority. Slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary.
The number of groups, which direction and the length of ride will depend on the preferences of those who RSVP.
You will need to be confident riding on shingle, narrow dirt tracks and on road surfaces (sharing with some vehicles). Surfaces vary - quiet roads, estuary or beach track and reserve paths with bollards.
The Pegasus Track from Waimairi Beach to Spencerville has undulations and a rough potentially greasy track in places.
The track from Brooklands to Northwood may be wet and a detour required if heavy rain has fallen.
The estuary tracks may be greasy.
Tracks and roads north (to Brooklands) are more challenging than those south (to Ferrymead). There are short sections of 80kmh roads in both directions.
