Our regular Club Rides are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays where we meet  at the Queens Park Sports Centre.   We can often have 2 or 3 groups riding out at varying paces and distances. We aim to get back from rides before 5.00pm. But in poor weather and darker days we return for around 3.00pm when lights and mudguards are essential. Many members use lights at all times to increase visibility to drivers, particularly when riding on shady lanes.

PLANNED AHEAD RIDES – with a ride leader and destination – see table below

Some rides might involve travelling by car to do a route outside the immediate area. These we call Car Assists and there are examples of these on this web site. Some may be Trail Rides, better ridden on a hybrid or mountain bike. See below, but again advance notice of these are given to our members. Even with these there are often members who can’t or prefer not to join these specific rides and go along to the cafe for a regular club ride instead.
