Polite request for consideration to local residents...

Would like to make a plea - covering a number of cycle groups.


I live in a local village and have noticed the increase in cycling groups around our area recently. My father was an avid road cyclist in his younger years, competing in time trials and winning medals, so I have no issues with cyclists per se. However we have a number of small groups that use our road to gain access to country lanes and wake us up early at weekends - from 7 a.m. onwards, cycling past shouting conversations at each other. We have a long front garden too! (4 separate groups this Sunday morning past). I appreciate this sounds louder as we have no particular passing traffic to drown out such conversations. (We can hear details of conversations that can surely wait until they're past housing and have urgency about the subject matter).


Wondering if a message could please be conveyed on behalf of residents of all rural and semi rural areas for cyclists to please not shout their conversations to each other unless out in the countryside (we can hear them as they turn into our road). Am posting similar messages to other groups also in the hope that my request can be heard. Don't want to be a sour puss but we don't all like to be up and about at 7 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays ......
