This post lists a number of bike rides and contains some of the information required to advertise scheduled rides. It can be used to provide some of the text for British Cycling's Let's Ride platform or other sites. If using Let's Ride then have the necessary text, photo and .GPX file ready to copy in to their form because at the time of writing the platform can clear text fields when updating the photo or .GPX file. Separate pages exist for each ride with the information presented as Let's Ride expects.

Standard Advisory Text
New riders are especially welcome. We have a policy of leaving no rider behind so if anyone is struggling we will adjust the speed and take rest stops if necessary. If you have questions or concerns speak to the Ride Leader or contact them before the ride. We ask that you read the full details of the ride including the distance and terrain to ensure the ride will be enjoyable for you.
Arrive at least 10 minutes before the published start time to allow for introductions, bike checks and any briefing to ensure a prompt departure at the stated time.
Please check your bike at home before the ride leaving yourself time to remedy any issues such as brake adjustments and repairing punctures. Bring a spare inner tube of the correct size and valve type for your bike, the tools to repair a puncture, a bike lock, water and a snack. Money for the café or unexpected circumstances such as taking the train home is advised. Please be mindful that not everywhere takes cash payment.
Consider the duration of the ride, the time of day you will be riding and the weather forecast. Dress appropriately ensuring no loose clothing or laces that could get entangled in bike parts.
The time for the ride is a best estimate by the Ride Leader. Sometimes this can be affected by factors such as the weather, mechanical issues and the queue at the café.
