Club 30 Gravel – Saturday 18th January
Quote from Gempalombo on 14 January 2025, 17:07Our first Club 30 ride of 2025! This ride is GRAVEL.
Meet at Inverness Botanics in time for a 9:15 departure. Start location is ///elder.spends.yours in What3Words in case anyone is unfamiliar.
Parking is available at Inverness Leisure 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.
Planned route is our normal gravel route out to Dores and back. The route is probably slightly less than 30km but there are options to extend along the canal if anyone wants. Nothing overly technical, would be suitable for anyone so long as your bike is suitable for off-road riding.
Please come prepared with appropriate kit, tools & spares. At the moment the weather is looking okay!
Please post below if you are coming. Any questions let me know.
Thanks

Club 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 – think playing on your bike as a kid and having a laugh followed by cake! 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.
