🚴♂️ What’s This Ride About?
This is our official first ride of the series. We’re keeping it short, flat, and friendly just enough to settle into the rhythm of group riding.
• ✅ Chill pace (10–13mph average)
• ✅ We ride together – always
• ✅ No pressure, no drop, no stress

🔰 Beginner Tip
Ride with relaxed hands and eyes forward. Avoid gripping the bars too tight — it’ll help you ride smoother and save energy.
⸻
🗣 Who’s It For?
New riders. Nervous riders. Returning riders. G4 is all about progress at your pace — not proving anything to anyone.
⸻
☕ Café Stop
Halfway through, we’ll stop for coffee, catch our breath, and chat at the Dish Café in Molesey. Come for the ride, stay for the vibes.
