Challenging/Moderate Ride: Le Mole

Join us Saturday as we out to Le Mole. The section from Saint Jeoire to Bonneville is particularly special. We'll stop for coffee at the halfway point in Bonneville. Note the 10am departure time - sleep in and avoid the possible morning rain!

The pace will be moderate/challenging, and we will regroup at the top of climbs. For a description of our club's ride levels, see here.

Please download the route to your cycling computer or phone. This helps you and the group. I welcome and encourage people to help set the pace at the front of the ride.

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!

Bring snacks, water, extra layer, and a flat repair kit. See the equipment list here. Also — especially at this stage in the season — 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.
