TUESDAY NIGHT RIDES
Time: Meet at 6.25pm for a 6:30pm departure
Where: Chichester College ‘Pavilion Bar’
DISTANCE: 20 MILES (+/- depending on time of year)
Our popular Tuesday Night Rides roll out from the College at 6:30pm. The route will usually comprise of 20 miles and we'll aim to be back into Chichester by 8:00pm.
Each route will be posted in our Spond App group in advance for you to register your attendance.
These rides are a great experience of the club, good for training, exploring and meeting other friendly cyclists.
SPEED LEVELS
It is the general intent to have three groups riding of varying average speeds to cover different fitness levels. To find the right group for you, our pace guide is below. Anyone looking to ride is asked to confirm in advance, this will help those organising rides split the riders.
On occasions when there are low numbers for groups they have the choice, to ride the route as planned, look to join a larger group either at the lower or upper speed or simply not ride with the club on that occasion. Those riding with a slower group have to respect the speed and not push the group harder and those moving up a group have to be prepared to ride a faster pace for the fairness of the majority.
Sportive Riding Group
The Sportive riding group will be aiming to average around 19/20mph (31kph). 19mph is an average speed, so there will be times when the speed is actually higher than this so you will need a good level of fitness. If you get dropped, wait in a safe place for the following groups to pass and tag along with them.
Club rules apply.
DEVELOPMENT GROUP
The development group will aim to average between 15/17mph (27kph). Again this is an average speed so speeds will be in excess of 17mph in places.
It’s recommended to have had some group riding experience for this group and you’ll need a decent level of fitness. The aim of this group is to improve rider’s confidence of working together in a group, and we’ll start introducing some group riding skills on the route.
Club rules apply.
SOCIAL GROUP
The social group will be aiming to average around 14/15mph (24kph). If you’ve not ridden in a group before, or just fancy having a chat with your mates, then this is a good group for you. We operate a no drop policy in this group, so no rider will be left behind.
