Meet at Culloden Battlefield entrance car park in time for a 9:00 departure.

Please check the forecast closer to the time and dress accordingly.

The route will likely be based around James H’s Culloden gravel classic…although we may improvise due to people needing to get back in good time. The approximate route is 18 miles and can be viewed and downloaded for your bike computer…

Riders should ensure their bikes are mechanically sound before attending a club ride and that the following minimum spares / tools are carried.

2x inner tubes
2x Co2 canisters (& dispenser) or appropriate hand pump
adhesive patches
Multi tool
Quick link (appropriate for your chain speed)
Tyre levers
Rear Light

Please also note that we ask people to carry ICE (In Case of Emergency) details with them on our rides. Please carry on ICE card or similar in your seatbag, or back pocket if you ride without one, detailing the name and phone number we should contact if you are involved in an accident.

A summary of ‘what is’ Club 30 is below.

Hope to see you Saturday

Pen

Club 30 is intended to be a short 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 café 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.  This is particularly suited to club members who might be returning after injury or illness and need a no pressure entry back into riding, 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.
