Road rides generally take place on a Saturday or a Sunday morning each and every week. We ride in most weather conditions. These rides leave promptly at 9am. Members start arriving usually 15 minutes early to be ready to leave exactly on nine o’clock so make sure you arrive with enough time to be bike ready. They always start at the Mansfield Club in Rugeley which is next door to Aldi. Returning around midday.
We always welcome NON CLUB MEMBERS to join us on these club rides, however any non club member is only permitted to ride twice before having to join the club, this is due to our insurance policy. Our ethos is that no one gets left behind. We all start together and finish together.
To confirm a ride is going ahead, please message us on our facebook page.
Casual Rides are usually 20 to 30 miles on a Saturday and 40 to 50 miles on a Sunday with a coffee and cake stop. The average speed is between 12 and 15 mph depending on who turns up.
On both days, we never leave anybody behind and will ride as quick as the slowest rider so do not worry if you feel that you may not be able to keep up. We all started somewhere and everyone has bad days when they struggle. This is part of cycling. Just come out and enjoy the ride.
Fast Paced Rides are aimed to push your limits. These rides are the same as above but the distance is usually a bit more at a faster pace. They are NON DROP so nobody gets left behind.
Chain Gang Rides are usually on a Thursday evening from March to September. Then from October to February we have a general ride to maintain our fitness.
International Trips are organised in the Summer to spend a week abroad at a cycling destination. Ride some of the epic climbs that others can only dream about and then enjoy the evenings with your Brereton Weelers friends.
