Winter rides
Our Sunday morning club rides change for the winter to take into account the darker mornings and change in pace required for safe riding when road conditions can be less than ideal.
We put out four rides starting at 8.30am from the Market Square:
| Time | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 8:30 | 2 hour steady | Average distance 32 miles at 15-16mph |
| 2 hour tempo | Average distance 35 miles at 17-18mph | |
| 3 hour steady | Average distance 45 miles at 15-16mph | |
| 3 hour tempo | Average distance 50 miles at 17-18mph |
Monthly café ride
On the last Sunday of the month, we do a traditional café ride. These are typically longer and visit a café for a half way stop. Keep an eye out on the email distributions detailing these rides.

Bicycle prep and mudguards
Winter presents some additional challenges to your equipment, so make sure your bike is ready to ride and you carry spares (lots of tubes!). Also, please have some consideration for your fellow riders and fit full-length mudguards with flaps to minimise spray.
