Sunday Club Ride

The main event of the week is the Sunday club road ride starting at 0830hrs. Open to all members, riders assemble in the Chichester Festival car park at 0825hrs for a ride briefing.

Individuals are welcome to join, in advance of becoming a member or visiting the local area and fancy a ride (three ‘guest’ rides before we ask that you become a member) Advance notice via social media is preferred but not essential.

Similar to Tuesday night, we try to offer two rides with differing speeds. A group ride averaging 16mph+ over varied terrain and longer route and then a more social group with a shorter route, averaging about 14/15mph. Groups are split if greater than 12 riders (still meeting at the coffee stop). Rides are non-drop with an emphasis on the more social aspect of cycling, it is Sunday after all.

Run throughout the year, subject to weather conditions, rides are adjusted for the seasons, shortening during the winter and slightly longer more adventurous rides in the finer months. Poor/unsafe riding conditions will be assessed and if necessary, the ride will be cancelled.

Riders are welcome to challenge themselves on route sections (e.g. hill climbs) but must wait to regroup and acknowledging their intention to the ride leader.
