That's definitely out of order if your ride did not clash with an official club event I can't blame you for being upset. The rule in my club, and yes clubs do have to have some rules, is all official club rides should start from the standard meet point at the designated times of 8.00/8.30/9.00 at weekends and 18.15 hours Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Outside of this members can organise private rides as and when they wish though we strongly advise/request private rides do not clash with official rides. Members are very good about observing this.
well another kick in the teeth , last week i was asked at short notice to lead the sat ride due to covid/ easter they were short of leaders and luckily i was free so i hastily sorted a route out , " have you got another route they dont want that one ",Bear in mind im still struggling with longer rides due to rehab.
After being asked to not post on facefluff non official rides i post on the club whats app im planing to go out sunday after being told i can then to be told i cant do that either .
Thats it , they can fark right off i have done with it now , even the chap i knew since he started club riding whom i have helped getting him fit , group riding , fixing his bikes etc etc has blanked me
