Got asked to lead the beginners on my club ride tonight. The route didn't go quite as planned, but everyone got back safely and seemed to enjoy it, so I can breathe a sigh of relief now.
Thank you. The hardest part was to maintain an air of confidence that I actually knew what I was doing! It was also important to try and make anyone feel welcome.Well done. Doing that for the first time must be a bit daunting.
Thanks!Well done. I remember how much planning I put into leading my first ride, but basically everyone appreciates your efforts and the occasional missed turn will be forgiven, or not even noticed. The first of many I trust
Thank you!Well done! it's only 12 months since I did my first lead and I still find it quite amazing to turn my head and keep seeing a group of cyclists behind me! And I still miss a turning sometimes and have to apologise to everyone when I have to make them turn round! You are right about the importance of making new riders feel welcome.
