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 LIGHTS, 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. If you are significantly slower than the rest of the group, be prepared to find your own way back to Geneva.
