The start of the ride will be shared with the Club 30 ride and all riders together to Munlochy Animal Aid, where we will have a group photo with the staff – the Club has donated £410 to this charity from 2023’s Audax funds.
The Saturday Club Ride route is around 54 miles/87km.

We will endeavour to accommodate your group selection, dependent on rider numbers and availability of ride leaders. For the safety of all riders we operate a no-drop policy on Saturday rides.
Group 1 – 16-18mph / 26kph-29kph
Group 2 – 14-16mph / 22kph-26kph
Group 3 – 13-15mph / 21kph-24kphIf you want to challenge yourself then you can select a faster group than your usual but with the option of dropping down after the coffee stop.
The route for this Saturday starts and finishes at Fairways. The forecast for Saturday currently suggests that it’s going to be cool and dry in the morning with a chance of drizzle in the afternoon. Please check the forecast closer to the time and dress accordingly.
