Challenging Ride: St Cergue

This Saturday, we'll head up to St Cergue and enjoy a nice coffee break at Le P'tit Gourmand.

The pace will be challenging. I welcome and encourage people to help set the pace at the front of the ride. The goal is to hold a strong pace, but to keep the group together. We can slow down or speed up as needed, based on the makeup of the group. **Please do not blow up the group by riding too fast at the front, not regrouping after climbs, and dropping people**

Please download the route to your cycling computer or phone. This helps you and the group.

RSVP to book your place; by doing so, you confirm agreement to our conditions of participation. And kindly cancel if you can't come to make room for others!

Helmets are mandatory. Bring snacks, water, and a flat repair kit. See the equipment list here. Also make sure in advance that your bike is in good working order.

Finally, please provide a contact person and telephone number in case of emergency (e.g. on your phone's lock screen or a post-it on the back of it).

NOTE: For challenging rides you should be able to keep the average pace, have ridden before in a group, and be both comfortable and safe when group riding.
