Hi all.
July's social ride will be to Roots and Shoots Garden centre near Stowmarket.

Destination: Roots and Shoots (IP6 8RR).
Meet: Sainsbury's Springfield (CM2 5PA).
Time: 09:00 for 09:30 prompt departure.
Full tank of fuel.
Distance: About 115 miles total.
Finish at MacD Regiment Way for coffee - about 14:30.

Please check your machine is fully checked:
POWERSBEST:
PETROL - full tank for journey.
OIL - check engine/brake fluid levels. Also look for oil leaks.
WATER - check coolant level.
ELECTRICS - check all lights operate / horn / warning lights.
RUBBER - check TYRE pressures as advised in your manual. Check tread depth - law says 1mm (on wear tab) around the whole circumference. Note: plan to change before this as the braking/grip levels reduce drastically as the tyre reaches the minimum legal requirement.
STEERING - check no fouling of cables side to side.
BRAKES - Check pads for wear, or ask your observer if your unsure.
EQUIPMENT - check box/panniers secure and no straps hanging.
SUSPENSION - check the legs for leaks - look for oil film near seals. Visual check on rear.
TRANSMISSION - engine oil also lubricates gearbox - in nearly all cases. CHECK YOUR CHAIN - IT MUST BE LUBRICATED AND ADJUSTED CORRECTLY AND ALSO FIT FOR PURPOSE. Any doubts visit your bike shop or ask an observer

Looking forward to it.

Hi Mick,

Many thanks for organising the Social Ride today. @ 30 degrees, it was quite hot but Roots and Shoots Garden Centre was excellent find, we'll be visiting them again. A great bunch of riders but shame about the massive tractor and slow hay cart that reduced the group's pace to a crawl.
