WEEKLY CLUB RIDES

Popular and the bedrock of the club, the Sunday morning club rides are a great way to meet up with others and enjoy a ride with a cafe stop. Prospective members are always more than welcome to meet up with us for one of these rides.

Primary start Location: Broadwater Green - outside Halfords
Start Time: 8:00 meet for an 8:30 start

Secondary start locations will be communicated via WhatsApp and our Strava club depending on the routes.

We categorise our rides by Pace Groups P1 to P4 - P1 being the fastest and P4 very casual. Typically we offer at least two routes which are published prior to the weekend.

Typical average speed and distances:

• P1 - 17-19mph / 27-30kph. 50-80mi / 80-130km. 
• P2 - 16-18mph / 26-29kph. 50-80mi / 80-130km
• P3 - 14-17mph / 23-27kph. 40-50mi / 65-80km
• ​P4 - 13-15mph / 21-24kph. 20-35mi / 32-56km. P4 ride is less frequent and advertised via WhatsApp, it may sometimes form as a sub group of P3 if attendance is high. 

​Alternate ride:
During the summer months some riders switch to the dirt - we offer regular gravel and MTB rides during this time. 

Vibe and expectations: 

• P1 - sometimes a drop ride and can get a little competitive. Have the route downloaded and make sure you have the spares you need. 
• P2 - focus on improving performance on a longer route but remains supportive and non-drop. 
• P3 - non-drop ride which maintains pace to the coffee stop. Typically with less distance and elevation. 
• ​P4 - our beginner friendly group where you can go at a leisurely pace and learn the ropes of group riding if you're new 

It's important to understand the expectations of riding in a group, if you are unfamiliar please review the Club's Group Riding Etiquette and speak to a committee member or experienced rider on your first group ride. 

Members also organise or take part in a number of additional social, training rides and races throughout the week​. Keep an eye on WhatsApp if you'd like to get involved.
