RIDE DETAILS and group speed 

We hold regular club rides with pre-planned routes and coffee stops – mid week and weekends.  The rides are posted on the Events Calendar a minimum of 48 hours in advance. These are pre-dominantly road rides but from time to time, depending on demand, there are Gravel/MTB rides and Zwift sessions.

Distances

The regular rides include:

  • Mid-week Wednesday ride, meet 9am. Variable start point – c45 miles
  • Mid-week Friday ride, meet 9.15am at La Piazza- c40miles
  • Saturday ride, meet 9.15am at La Piazza - c40miles
  • Long Sunday ride, meet 8.30am at Bedford Rowing club– c55 miles to 70 miles or 8am if over 70 miles (over the summer 100 mile rides are added to the calendar)
  • Sunday Club ride, meet 9am at La Piazza - c60miles
  • Short Sunday ride, meet 9am at Bedford Rowing club – c35 miles to 40 miles

Ride distance might vary from week to week and distances and start times will vary seasonally.

The Wednesday and Sunday rides are planned with a coffee stop mid ride, the Friday and Saturday rides have a coffee stop near the end of the ride, near Bedford, before people head for home.

Occassionally , particularly in winter gravel rides may be posted. Please see the page on gravel rides for more information.

Group speed

There is a choice of groups to ride with:

  • Fast: aimed at those who expect, in normal summer weather, to ride at 19+ mph.
  • Fast-Intermediate: for those aiming at 17 to 19mph
  • Intermediate: for those aiming at 15 to 17 mph
  • Social: for those aiming at 13 to 15 mph.

When you sign up you select your group speed.  You will have visibility of other who have signed up for the ride and in which speed group. 


We have a no drop policy on all rides

However, if there is a group riding behind your speed group and you want to drop back to join them, this is allowed but must be communicated to the group leader of you group before you drop back.
