Club Runs

Like most cycling clubs, Rugby RCC holds club runs, generally for those riders who like to ride in company and keep fit at the same time. Most riders prefer to maintain a leisurely pace, the general rule being that the group sets its pace by the slowest rider, making it ideal for beginners. We have a different arrangement for more experienced riders who are looking for a "chain gang" activity (see below).

Rides usually take place on Sunday mornings, starting in the centre of Rugby outside the Temple Speech Rooms in Barby Road. The start time is generally 9.00 am, but it is better to check first as times do vary with the time of the year.

For those wishing to ride on a weekday there is an informal group called the "Wednesday Riders", which ride throughout the year, not surprisingly on Wednesdays. This large group of riders are mainly retired people, many of whom have had a lifetime of cycling and wish to continue for the fun of it. Those not wishing to ride for a full day return home as a small group after "elevenses". The main group generally have a midday stops at a cafe for lunch.

John Tinkler Tel 01788 336448
or
Alan Saitch Tel 01788 812499.

If your preference is for something more of a "chain gang" activity, John or Alan will be able to put you in touch with a suitable club member who will invite you to join them. However, these rides don't take place every weekend, since many of these riders are competing on Saturday or Sunday.
