New Riders

If you are joining us for the first time...

Visitors are very welcome - it costs nothing to join our rides. We have rides of different standards every Sunday and you do not have to be a member of the CTC to come along and give it a try. Once you have ridden with us we are sure that you will want to join the CTC.

While there will be many willing hands to help with any mechanical problems, all participants should carry a basic toolkit, including puncture repair kit, and a pump.

All our rides are planned and led by experienced cyclists mostly on quiet rural roads and lanes. More information is available from the ride leaders whose phone numbers are included in the rides lists or from the runs secretary.

Sunday rides are usually all-day rides (with an option to return direct from the morning coffee stop) and in winter months aim to get back before dark. We aim never to leave anybody behind, but it is less stressful if you can estimate the sort of pace that's comfortable. It's difficult to be precise about pace because it depends on various things (weather, terrain and the particular cyclists), but as a guide (actual riding pace, not including stops).

  • C Rides - leisurely average pace of 10-11 miles/hour
  • B Rides - moderate average pace of 13-14 miles/hour
  • A Rides - brisk average pace of 14-15 miles/hour

You can phone the leader for more details.

Start points of rides vary, details here.

You may find the guidelines for on road runs helpful.

We can also suggest local areas that you can try by yourself! Contact us.
