Club runs

These take place every Sunday throughout the year from locations mainly in East Herts. We use quiet country lanes wherever possible and avoid main roads. Rides are usually about 40 miles (winter) to 70 miles (summer) and are either Easy Paced (less than 12 mph) or Medium Paced (12 to 15 mph). A stop at a pub or tea shop for lunch is usually included and we make sure that no one is left behind (follow this link for our current list of favourite destinations). These are not training rides! They are for enjoying the countryside in good company. Generally, the pace is that of the slowest rider. By the way, arriving by car with your bike at the start point is perfectly acceptable. Members often live some distance away or do not want to cycle more than the ride miles in poor weather. Of course no one is obliged to complete the whole ride and members will sometimes drop in or out along the route.

Potential members are very welcome to ride with us a few times before making a decision to join the Club. If you would like to do this then could you please contact us first.

If you are new to club cycling, or are a slower rider, try our Tea Shop Rides which are an easy paced 25 miles on a Sunday afternoon. They are an excellent introduction to club riding.

Please note that we cannot accept riders under the age of 18 on our club runs unless they are accompanied by an adult who will assume responsibility for their care and supervision.

About once a month a 3 hour mainly off road ride is provided either as the main club run or as an alternative ride.

All rides are listed on the website and in The Mudflap our monthly newsletter. Email our club runs organiser if you need more information.
