If you've been cycling on your own for a while - or perhaps commuting on your bike - and you're confident you can ride over 20 miles comfortably, then it might be time to try pushing yourself a little further and riding with a cycling club. Redhill CC has a wide range of road rides on Saturdays from Newcomers to Racers.
CLICK HERE FOR LATEST REIGATE FORECAST.
All Saturday rides start at 9am SHARP from Woodhatch Park opposite 'The Angel' pub, south of Reigate (see the map below). Please arrive 10 minutes early to sign in for your ride. We do this so we have your mobile and emergency contact numbers.
NON MEMBERS £2 per ride on a ride-before-you-join basis.
Please note, lots of riders away in North Wales this weekend, so please find the right ride on Saturday.
1) ADRIAN WEBB will gentle Newcomers/Social ride of 20 - 30 miles at a gentle pace of 13-14mph average with a guaranteed teastop halfway.
2) MARVELLOUS MARK VINCENT will lead a shorter/slower Social Intermediate ride at ~14 mph average. Destination to be confirmed but there will be a teastop.
3) CHRIS HALL will lead the longer Social Intermediate Ride which may take in some of the bigger hills around Ranmore/Shere if the appetite's there. Teastop on this ride too.
3) PETE MORTIMER will lead fast intermediate ride of around 40miles at ~17mph average. Teastop likely at the top of Box Hill after a quick figure of eight circuit round Charlwood, Rusper etc.
4) GAVIN GARRETT will take a short racers' training ride of around 30miles but back by midday at an average at or over 17mph. A quick burst.
NB: DO NOT WEAR DULL/BLACK CLOTHING!! You need to be seen by dozey motorists. We strongly recommend a helmet, correctly fastened and Saturday leaders have the right to decline riders who are not suitably dressed or equipped. Wear mitts & eye protection.
