Rides
The club has two sections - a Recreational and a Longer Ride group.
The Longer Ride Group typically covers 50 to 110 km (30 to 70 miles) depending on the season and weather. The Recreation Group normally covers 24 to 48 km (15 to 30 miles) at a more relaxed pace. We always plan to include a café stop on route for a brew!
Typically two Sunday club rides are held per month. Other frequent midweek rides are arranged and communicated by members on an ad-hoc basis via the club WhatsApp groups.
Following are a selection of recent routes by the Longer Ride group.
