Ride 24/7 Cycling Club offer a series ‘Road Rides’ from the shop throughout the week!

Our Tuesday evening Club rides run at 6:00pm from the shop with groups A,B,C and D (with A being for advanced riders and D for beginners).

Please sign on the Club whiteboard in the appropriate group for your ability before you set off.

We offer rides on a Sunday morning at 10:00am and these are on all year round. With a longer ride approx 75 miles+ on the last Sunday of each month. For more info on these rides a newsletter is sent out to each Club member every month so you can see what’s going on in the club and what events are on.
