Our Tuesday evening rides, departing from the top of Primrose Hill, are continuing for now, but from this week will start a little earlier, at 18:15, due to the fact that it's getting dark by the end of the ride. Don't forget lights if you're riding tonight!

Our Tuesday evening rides, departing from the top of Primrose Hill at 18:30, will continue for a few weeks, but we strongly suggest use of lights now. It's not dark by the end of the ride yet, but it is starting to get dusky and it would only take a puncture to delay someone enough to get stranded!
