Small rooms, real access, and nobody standing at the edge.
Everything here is sized so that you know the group by the second morning. What we have not done is publish dates we cannot yet honour — register interest and you will hear before they are public.
How this is curated
Fewer things, arranged properly.
The temptation with a club like this is to publish a calendar of forty events and hope. We would rather run six things well: each one small enough that the group becomes a group, close enough to the people who actually do the work, and unhurried enough that the good part — the conversation afterwards — has room to happen.
Members bring partners whether or not they ride, and every ride runs at more than one pace. Nobody is asked how fast they are.
