Club runs
We welcome prospective club members and visitors to join rides. Please see the members Facebook page and WhatsApp groups for latest updates to the rides published below.
Club Runs Core Programme - which ride is right for me?
We have a full programme of graded rides via café stops, led by volunteer club members. Our aim is to support everyone to find a suitable ride which is enjoyable and safe.
Some rides are more challenging than others, giving members complete flexibility to relax or push themselves, dependant on their personal goals/fitness levels.
We plan the programme around the four seasons and publish each schedule on this website.
Changes to the published programme will be notified using Club Members’ Facebook and WhatsApp groups
