This is a social ride designed to bring riders together ahead of SPOKEN 2026.

While no one gets dropped intentionally, we do ask riders to arrive with a bicycle in good working order and the confidence to ride safely within a group.

Please remember:

• Spare tube and inflation device

• Water bottles

• Appropriate clothing for the forecast conditions

• Fully charged bike computer if using navigation

• A sense of humour

And for those who like to know where they are going... here is the route, thanks to our tremendous Ride Leader Ben.

Alba + Chainsmith Route

As part of the day, Alba Optics has generously provided some tester glasses. Please make your way to Alison pre-ride if you're keen to trial the incredibly light Alba lenses.

We're excited to show you the frames we're presented at SPOKEN 2026, including Cicli Barco, Sarto, DeAnima and Titici. Three of the five frames are being launched on home ground!

Our showcase is being built, but not quite finished! However, you can see the insider views from our socials:

We're looking forward to seeing you on the start line.
