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: Hill Barn Golf Club
Start Time: 8:00 meet for an 8:30 start

WECC members can enjoy a free tea or coffee at Hill Barn!

Secondary Start Locations: 

• Steyning
• Arundel 

Start Time: 9:15 
​See full schedule below.

We typically offer at least two ride options with routes published by Wednesday each week. 

Standard ride
An inclusive and social ride catered for all abilities, often splitting into two groups depending on group size and pace of riders.

Distance: 45 to 55 miles (70-90km)
Pace: 15-17mph (24-27kph)
Vibe: chatty, non-drop, no one left behind
Hills: optional hill efforts, regrouping at the top
Ride leader: Dave Wilbor

Alternate ride 
Gravel or road depending on conditions.
Longer and faster.

​Distance: anything from 40 to 100+ miles (65-160+km)
Pace: 17-20mph on tarmac (27-32kph)
Vibe: faster and can get a little competitive 
Expectations: be sure to have the route downloaded, these rides are more self-sufficient 
Ride leader: Dominic Maxwell

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.

Annual Club Run Attendance Trophy

All scheduled rides are included in the Annual Club Runs Attendance Points Trophy Competition. This runs from 1st October to 30th September each year. 

Points are awarded as follows: 

• 2 points if you start with the group from the primary or secondary start location and ride with the group to the cafe
• 1 point if you proceed independently to the cafe stop
• 3 points if you are out all day on a Club touring activity e.g Addax, Sportive or specially arranged runs

The rider with the most points at the end of the season receives a prestigious trophy and the presentation is at the club's Annual Awards Dinner.
