Each week, the Dawdlers CTC cycling group meet on Thursday at the five start points listed below. If you are not sure where the start point is, contact the organiser by email. Come to the START POINT to meet with other cyclists at the designated time or make your own way to the coffee stop. After coffee, we then choose to go on as a group depending upon weather conditions or inclination. The suggested lunch stop is indicated on the website but may be varied by riders on the day. It is your decision if you decide not to continue on the ride after the coffee stop. This group has CTC designated ride leaders, although any rider may lead on a particular day. We start at the designated start points indicated and travel to the coffee stop and then decide among ourselves where to go for a picnic lunch.
