Information about the group rides


We ride every Wednesday and at the weekend either on Saturday or Sunday. We start our rides from various locations in North Yorkshire and the south of Durham. We are a very sociable Club. Our rides are usually between 20 miles and 70 miles (although we sometimes have longer rides). We grade the pace of our rides from A to D although the majority are at a C pace between 10 and 12 miles a hour. We always stop at a cafe for lunch and sometimes stop again for morning coffee or afternoon tea. We wait for everyone. Mountain Biking is a separate section of the Club.
