Ramblers Ride
The Ramblers Rides are in place to encourage people who may have been interested in riding with the club, but are afraid the pace of the general rides may be too high for them, or for those that feel the club runs are a little too hard for their current condition. The rides have proved very popular, and we are pleased to see more women and youngsters join us, something we are keen to promote. The Rides are a social ride at a “Conversational Pace”. These rides are always as fast as the slowest rider, so no one gets left behind.
Les generally leads the rides with the pace being strictly as fast as the slowest rider. As these are predominantly on the open road we would suggest road bikes or Hybrids to be most suitable.
The distance covered is usually at most a round trip of around 40 - 50 Miles but can be less if the riders feel they are not up to it on the day.
The ramblers' rides leave the Plaza each Sunday at 10:00 am. Attendance counts towards Ramblers ride points so the more you do the more you get. There is an annual award for the person that accrues the highest number of points over the year.
Attendance will also count towards club run points so the more you do the more you get.
