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 10-12 mph with about 2000 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 30 and 40 miles long at an average speed of just under 11-13 mph with 2000 to 3000 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 12-15 mph with 3000 to 4000 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 60 miles long, but can be much longer. Average speed is usually around 15-17 mph with 3000 to 5000 feet of climbing. There is often a coffee stop at around half to two thirds distance, but this is not always the case.
