Club Routes

The Club has a number of well-established ride routes. These are listed below, and in most cases, a link to an online map is also available. NB Route maps are of the recommended routes. Ride coordinators may vary these routes at their discretion, although when this is the case, the fact will normally be publicised ahead of time using the usual club communication channels. Where a ride route has not yet become well established in the Club's programme, or when a route is being used for a special one-off occasion, details may not appear in the list below. However, in these cases, Ride Coordinators are asked to ensure that the route is posted ahead of the scheduled date, normally on the Club Facebook page.

Anyone wanting to join a ride part way through are advised to check with the coordinator beforehand. Please check the club’s Facebook page for possible additional information.

The rides programme is on the ride calendar page.
