Ride Groups

Group Rides


We have 5 main categories to suite all abilities. Many of our members ride in more than one group with most rides having that essential social activity of Coffee & Cake

If you'd like to give us a try you can join a group ride up to three times without joining the club.

Group 1

Rides are organised as needed to suit people newly taking up cycling or lacking the confidence to ride with one of our other groups

Group 2

Rides tend to be between 20 and 30 miles long at an average speed of 9 -12 mph with 1,000 to 2,000 feet of climbing. These rides are aimed at those seeking a leisurely but rewarding ride with time to chat en route. A coffee stop is considered essential on these rides.

Group 3

Rides tend to be between 25 and 40 miles long at an average speed of just under 10 to13 mph with 1,500 to 3,000 feet of climbing. These rides usually include a coffee stop at around half to two thirds distance.

Group 4

Rides tend to be quite demanding and are normally between 35 and 45 miles long at an average speed of around 11 to14 mph with 2,500 to 4,000 feet of climbing. These rides usually include a coffee stop at around half to two thirds distance.

Group 5

Rides are normally between 40 and 50 miles long, but can be much longer. Average speed is usually around 13 to16 mph with 3,000 to 5,000 feet of climbing. There is often a coffee stop at around half to two thirds distance, but this is not always the case.
