Club 30 – Gravel (Sat 12th July)
Quote from PenStuart on 10 July 2025, 14:28This week’s ride is GRAVEL. NOTE CHANGE OF ROUTE
Meet at Asda/Starbucks in time for a sharp 9:15 departure (if all who have posted are there we will leave early).
Parking is available for those driving to the start, if you’re cycling and intend on staying for a coffee at the end please make sure you bring a lock for your bike.
The plan is to seek plenty of shade heading through Torbrek woods then to Dores and back by mutual discussion based on the heat of the day! Please come prepared with appropriate kit, tools & spares plus sun cream. Anyone wanting a cooling dip in Lochness might want to bring a towel!
Please post below if you are coming. Any questions let me know.
Cheers
Pen
More about Club 30…
Club fun 30 is intended to be a short-ish gravel (30km) or road (30 miles) ride with the aim of it finishing by about 11.30/12.00. The whole idea is to provide a fun, social ride on a Saturday, with an optional cafe stop at the end for anyone who wants one. It will start and finish at the coffee stop so start points will vary depending on the route and routes will vary between gravel and road (often gravel because there’s more variety closer to the city at the 30 distance). This is particularly suited to club members who might be returning after injury or illness and need a no pressure entry back into it or for folk who just can’t commit to the longer Saturday rides but still want to have a quick blast. E-bikes are entirely welcome but you should be an experienced cyclist with group riding knowledge – message me with any questions on that front.
