Saturday Ride Groups
Club rides - Saturday
Each week, members post details of rides on Facebook for the coming Saturday, depending upon weather predictions and local events. We usually have at least three planned rides per week, ranging from 30-40 miles at an average of 10-12 mph to 60+ miles averaging 13-14+mph.
Each proposed ride contains details of the distance, expected pace, the amount of climb and which cafe is to be visited, so members can choose which one suits them best. The ride planners have a 'no-one left behind' policy, so newer members can rest assured that they will be well looked after. If you're not sure which group to join, it's recommended that you start with a slower paced ride.
Members have full access to our club Facebook page and are encouraged to post rides which meet their needs.
Club rides - special events
Each year, the club plans special rides, such as 'park & ride' events, 'the day of the century' and Lytham Kite Festival. These take place in addition to our usual club rides.
Club rides - Wednesday
These are social rides to a local cafe at a leisurely pace. The cafe and route are usually decided by consensus at the meeting place.
Ad-hoc rides
Fancy a ride with friends on a different day? Any member can post a ride and invite other members to join them.
