The Thursday Dawdlers cycling group meet every Thursday at the start points listed below. Come to the START POINT to meet up with other cyclists or make your own way to the coffee stop. Then choose to go on as a group depending upon weather conditions or inclination. This group does not have any designated ride leaders. We start at the designated point and travel to the coffee stop and then decide among ourselves where to go for a picnic lunch.
