Information about the group rides
Each week we run three routes, referred to as Long, Intermediate and Short. The three routes usually head to different cafe stops but generally all start from Leyburn so we have chance to get together. Normally there will be between 6 and 10 riders per group. Most weeks there will be two or three groups per route to meet demand, setting off at 15 minute intervals.
- LONG routes are generally between 35 and 45 miles in length and ridden around 16+mph average
- INTERMEDIATE routes are generally 25 to 35 miles long and ridden around 13mph average
- SHORT routes are generally 15 to 25 miles long and ridden around 11mph average
Rides usually commence in Leyburn but to add a bit of variety, roughly every 5 or 6 weeks, we have an “away” start from places like Reeth, West Tanfield or Wharfedale so we can explore further.
There is no advance programme of rides instead the route map (pdf and/ or gpx file) and meeting arrangement information is uploaded using the Spond App each week. People intending to ride are asked to confirm via the App which group they plan to ride with so we have an idea of numbers.
Look forward to you joining us!!
