Reliability Rides
– A particular feature of the early part of the year, these
rides are over a set course and distance to be completed in a
pre-determined time.
Challenge
Rides – As the name suggests these are
specific one-day events that are a little
more demanding than the average club run. They are often over a
longer distance and/or difficult terrain, but usually with
spectacular scenery. Examples include:
The Shropshire Challenge
– A testing ride in the Shropshire hills around the historic
town of Ludlow.
The Wild Wales Challenge
– An arduous 70-80 mile route centred on the north Wales town of
Bala.
The Hell of the North Cotswolds
– This unique ride encompasses a large amount of off road
riding. Ideally suited to mountain bike riding .
Audax Events
– These are set distance events for the serious cyclo tourist or
"Randonneur". Over specified distances of 100,200,300,400 or 600
km. They require a formal touring bike with saddle bag/panniers
and lights if necessary. These events are entered in advance and
you are issued with a brevet card to be stamped at controls
along the route.
Specialist Events
– Include place to place rides and "grimpeur " events
(mountainous rides). Many are "classic" events such as the Paris
–Brest- Paris.
- Are arranged by the club on Saturdays from the Hugh Porter
Way, Aldersley Leisure Village, please contact a committee
member for details.
W-ton.
These are short easy rides to a local café on traffic free or
very quiet roads. Ideally suited to the family and younger
riders & finishing before lunch.
Family Runs
– Frequent Sunday rides from a central
starting point to a predetermined destination. Centred around a
family friendly public house, these are leisurely paced rides
along country lanes.
Supper & Breakfast Runs
– As the name suggests, these are either an early morning or
evening ride to a café, restaurant or hostelry offering good
food and good company – Always an enjoyable ride.
