Club 30 – Road (Sat 29th June)
Quote from Shanthi on 27 June 2024, 10:04Club 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 – 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. E-bikes are entirely welcome but you should be an experienced cyclist with group riding knowledge – message me with any questions on that front.
This week’s ride is ROAD.
Meet at the usual Fairways meeting point in time for a sharp 9:15 departure (if all who have posted are there we will leave early). Start location is ///stubborn.relate.wobbles in what3words for anyone new, or look for the start point of the ride in the Strava route included below. The cafe for after the ride is the nearby Asda cafe.
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 route is approx. 30 miles/50km and can be viewed and downloaded for your bike computer here:
Please come prepared with appropriate kit, tools & spares.
Please post below if you are coming. Any questions let me know.
Cheers,
Shanthi

Can I confirm the meeting place, is it in the Fairways carpark?
Thanks

Hi Mark,
As you come off the main roundabout don’t take the left up to fairways, head to the mini roundabout in front. We park in the office carparks there and gather at the mini roundabout.
I hope that makes sense.
Doug 🙂
