What We Do

Additional Rides

Throughout the year there are many additional rides that take place.

In March, we have our ‘At Home Training Camp’ week which includes longer rides, a hills day and a skills day at a track such as Cyclopark. Every summer there is the ‘One Day Tour’ where we travel somewhere else to ride for a day. In previous years, this has taken place in France and more recently has involved circumnavigating the Isle of Wight.

There are opportunities for cycling abroad as well as longer UK based trips. Each year there is a week-long ‘training camp’ in Mallorca, which many of our members attend. In September 2022, there is an organised ‘Way of the Roses’ trip, and many of our members will be cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats together in summer 2022. To help increase fitness after the winter months, we offer a 50 mile course, where rides build from 25 to 50 miles across a 6 week period.

During the summer we take advantage of the longer days and better weather with seaside rides, which if possible include an option to do a shorter version of the ride and return by train, to accommodate all levels of rider. We also attend sportives both locally and further afield, painting them pink with our distinctive kit! Other important rides for us are our Club 25 ride, which celebrates the Club’s anniversary in June and our annual ‘Bacon Butty Ride’ each January.
