We meet at the top of Holly Walk and ready to leave for 08:15. The route is normally posted on the Facebook page the evening before or in our club WhatApp community (Joining instructions can be found in your membership email).

These rides are aimed at riders who like to get some miles in and who love a thick wedge of cake to fuel that ride.

Rides are typically 50-65 miles (80-104 km) and we usually have two or more groups, split by speed and distance. Most rides have a café stop at half distance or so. There will be hills on these routes, so be prepared to channel your inner mountain goat at some point.

​

Estimated ride speeds:

• Easiest group (B)= 16-18 mph (26-29 kph)

• Faster group (A)= 17-19 mph (28-30 kph)

• Frequent Fastest Ride  (A+)18+ mph -  This ride is soley dependent on rider availability.

​

Advertised rides may be split into multiple groups if there are larger numbers of riders. The ride format of these groups will remain the same to what is stated in terms of speed and distance.

We try to keep groups to 6-8 riders to keep things manageable for traffic, socialising and to prevent long queues at the cafes.  ​​

​

All riders will regroup at the top of climbs but please ensure you choose a suitable group to get the most enjoyment. If you have a puncture or mechanical, there is always plenty of help available.
