CLUB RIDES
How we ride
Our shortest club ride is the Tuesday night ride at 45km / 30 miles which we ride at a minimum speed of 25kph / 15 mph, other rides are longer and often quicker.
If you are not sure if this is possible for you, check your previous rides and if you can ride the distance solo at 23kph / 14mph you should be faster in a group ride.
British Cycling offer alternative rides that are shorter / more relaxed, as do Hub and Spoke who are based in Harlow
