We will ride from Morges via the vineyards of La Côte, up to Le Vaud and Bassins, then back to Geneva - normally with tailwind much of the way.

Please make your own way there in advance; the ride will leave at 9:05am. (If taking the train, you need to buy a ticket for yourself and one for your bike, you can buy in advance online.)

The pace will be moderately fast (see NOTE below).

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

Bring lights (front and back, charged!) in case we encounter fog.

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

Bring snacks, water, any layers you need, and a flat repair kit. See a checklist here. Also make sure your bike is in good working order.

And 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 moderate rides you should be able to keep the average pace (~20-21 kph in this case), have ridden before in a group, and be both comfortable and safe when group riding.

If you have any doubt or have not done any group riding, please start on a relaxed/intro ride. Bike Club Switzerland runs rides most weeks to help you learn the group riding skills you need to join this ride. We regroup at the top of climbs and stop for major mechanicals - but you need to be self-sufficient to complete the ride or make your way back if you have a major mechanical.
