CLUB | Ride247

We offer a series of ‘Road Rides’ throughout the Winter from the shop at 10:00am every Sunday!

Our Tuesday evening Club rides are starting up again Spring 2014!

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.
