[Keith Coota]

Clubman or the 3rd level is for "riders of average skills...assistance given if required".
   This was my third ride with the Club, I thought that I was getting back up to speed after not riding for a while.  I used this ride as my next step as my skills were getting better almost average. HOWEVER. I had a fall earlier on in the day followed by a bitch of a hill to climb. 95% of the ride was great but it is the 5% that wore me down. I had enough by 3pm and left to safety. But the rest of the riders continued to night fall.
   Maybe the rides could be structured so that if your having a bad day there is an easy OPT out at lunch. That way as the riders gain skills and feel like they are ready for a clubman ride they can give it a shot and if they feel up to it go on for the rest of the day ( hopefully not night fall)
