2. 25 mile loop

** Beginners **

Beginners will take a shorter route riding only part of route 1. Approx 10-12 miles. The group will ride at a slower pace (around 10mph) and no one is left behind. We have the following article which is worth reading explaining what we recommend you have with you.


A small group of committee members and experienced Wednesday night cyclists held a meeting late last week to review the arrangements for the mid-week cycles this year. We have taken on board feedback received from last year.

The emphasis is on fun but also important well organised and safe group riding.

More guidance on the group riding format will be given on the night.

We will be looking for volunteers to lead the groups so offer your assistance will be most welcome.

It is important you wear clothing that allows you to be clearly visible to other road users. You should also be using lights. This is for the safety of yourself and other road users.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Keep it safe and fun
