Issy and Daisy managed a 20km ride last summer with no major issues, so I would think the novice level should be achievable by most that would like to give it a go. The following rides in our area should all have a ride of an appropriate distance within them, with vettings on site too. All of these are in the provisional diary on the Endurance GB website, PC members get to enter the events at the Endurance GB members rate (without having to pay the additional membership). and events can usually be entered fairly close to the actual event, so possibly good if people’s plans change.
