Hub Club (Totnes Bike Hub)
Our activities
About us
As a cycling community hub we run events, courses and led rides. The confidence building rides are especially for adults new to cycling.
We run regular rides on Saturdays, and Wednesday evenings for more experienced cyclists. These are a mix of on- and off-road riding.
Please see our social media - Facebook and Instagram - for details of these rides.
Information about the group rides
A typical offering for Saturday rides is:
Social rides - aimed at newcomers. Typically around 6-8miles. If we feel that the capacity of the group may not achieve the milage, we tend to do less. We also have a cafe stop.
Road rides - These are faster and address the need locally for more spirited rides for experienced riders. Typically between 20-30miles (depending on how many hills). They include a coffee stop.
Off-Road rides - (late spring to early autumn): 12-15 miles for experienced riders. They are very chilled out, with emphasis not on speed but fun and taking in the beauty of the Devon green lanes. Some times a cafe stop at the end or return to the Hub.
- Everyone returns to the hub for tea and cake!! This is always nice as there is lots of chatter between all our riders and leaders as they return from their respective rides.
Typical Offering for a Wednesday Night Pub Ride (British Summer time)
Party Pace - For riders who have experience riding distances in Devon over 10miles. Very chilled out. Lots of stops at the tops of hills and to allow people to chat and be sociable.
Road Rides - For faster riders. 15-20miles at a quickish pace. Still stop at the top of hills for slower riders.
Off Road Rides - Same as those we run on a Saturday.
With the Wednesday Night Rides, we finish at a pub for snacks and refreshments. We all make our own way home. Typically what happens is people split into directional groups and assist new riders to the group who are going back to a similar destination.
For Wednesday night rides during winter - please contact us to find out more. It's a bit more of a hardy, experienced bunch with the correct equipment.
- There is an option to hire an 'around town' style electric bike https://www.southhams.gov.uk/totnes-e-bike-scheme
