Rides

Our aim is for friendly group riding. Be assured that whatever your ability you will not be left behind on any of our club rides, unless advertised. For anyone new to group riding, there is a guide on our Facebook page.

We have a range of weekly club rides according to the season and weather. These are advertised to members on our Facebook page.

 The Ride Leader will always state the start location. Rides may start from either outside the Hethersett Social Club or Howards Cycles in Wymondham. On occasion, rides starting from Hethersett may also have a pick up at Howards Cycles in Wymondham.
