The aim of these events is to provide a relatively short, easy-paced ride suitable for newcomers or riders who are not yet confident of being able to ride with the main club runs, riders returning to cycling or those who are still gaining cycling fitness.
The rides are intended as an introduction to club cycling, not as an introduction to cycling and a minimum level of fitness is expected.
As a guide, participants should be comfortable completing solo rides of 15 miles in approximately 1.5 hours before attempting one of our introductory rides.
We do not leave anybody behind but a reasonable rate of progress must be made and we expect a minimum average speed of approximately 13mph.
