Groups

A GROUP Social ride it always has a cafe stop and a NO DROP policy. Rides are between 30 and 40 miles depending on weather conditions. This ride goes at the pace of the slowest rider.

B GROUP Rides are for the more experienced group riders, these rides are of a longer distance and may contain tough terrain and have a higher average ride speed. 35 to 45 miles for hilly rides & 40 to 60 miles for mostly flat rides. Whilst we try not to drop anyone there are some instances where this could happen. May or may not have a cafe stop

C GROUP Rides are for the very experienced cyclist. Rides are faster, longer and are usually tough terrain.

Your experience and fitness level should be considered when looking at what group to join
