Event info

This Sunday Dean Butler is leading the D ride - heading down to the Jungle Tea Room in Ashington, where the carb loading can continue. There's also some cycling, we head out through Colgate and return through Partridge Green and Warninglid.
The main feature of this route is that it's flat for a few miles after the coffee stop, allowing our "cake legs" to get back in the mood before the final climb back to Crawley! There are also sections which will facilitate structured group riding, we will assist anyone who is not sure what this means.
All welcome, this is a "no-drop" ride! We will ride as a group within the D ride guidelines except for the 2 main hills, where we will wait and re-group at the top. This is a moderate D ride at 51 miles, with about 2500ft elevation.

 

Meet: Crawley - The Broadway opposite Icelend

To help you all enjoy your weekend rides the Ride Organisers and I would like to remind you when on a club ride to:

  • Listen to the ride leader’s instructions
  • Follow the official route
  • Do not ride off the front of the group
  • Stop at the top of climbs and at junctions to enable the ride to re-group
  • Enjoy the tea stop and support local businesses

If you are thinking about taking up cycling or are picking up the sport again then come along and pick a ride to suit you. There is a no drop policy on all our rides however we would also ask you to consider the distance, elevation & pace.
