I suggest that any riders who feel brave enough to turn up tomorrow morning for the club ride make a decision with their heads rather than their hearts. If it is not safe, don’t ride.
The long ride out to Saltmarsh may be inadvisable, even if the conditions at 9.00 a.m. are deemed to be ok. The road conditions today (Saturday) were pretty safe despite the snowfall but a quick change in the weather tomorrow may leave riders stranded. I therefore suggest that if any ride is undertaken it sticks to a route maybe circling Ditchling, Burgess Hill, Henfield, Steyning etc.. … in other words, not venturing too far from home. But again let me reiterate, if the conditions are unsafe, do not ride.
