As the name suggests this is the ride for members who want to ‘socialise’ while out on the bike

The ride will normally be 40 + miles.  The group will go at the speed of the slowest rider and regroup as necessary to keep everyone together. The ride is at a steady pace, with no accelerations on hills or stepping up of pace.

2. BRANDONS Training Ride

This is the ride for riders who are serious about racing and sportive events. Routes are usually longer and could be more demanding than the other rides. Pace is brisk and averages speeds of 16 -18 mph. The ride regroups momentarily at times, but is ideally a one stop ride.

Ride Etiquette

Riders should ride paired up, or in single file if on a busy road.

All riders should try and take their turn at the front.

Riders should maintain, not lift the pace when at the front (no half wheeling) especially when on hills.

Riders at the back of a group should try and maintain contact with the group, or if this is difficult call out for the group to slow down.

If the ride breaks up it must regroup and account for all its members.

The group will wait for any rider with a puncture or any other problem.
