Rides

Weekend club rides meet every Saturday and Sunday morning at 8:45am for a 9:00am start outside the Crawley Library, Southgate Avenue, Crawley, RH10 6HG.

If you are thinking about taking up cycling, getting back into it, or looking for a club to join then come along and pick a ride to suit you. Before you decide if you would like to become a member you get 2 rides for FREE!

There is a no-drop policy on all our rides. We want your experience with us to be as enjoyable and as safe as possible so all of our rides have a ride leader and you are sure to get plenty of encouragement from the rest of the group too. We strongly advise you to wear a helmet and read our risk assessment before joining us.

There are different levels of ride to cater for riders of different ability – see below the ride list for more information.

If rides have pre-planned routes then they will be listed below.
