🚴 CLUB RIDING WORKSHOP

Mixing Shed

Ride Smarter. Ride Safer. Ride Better.

A club ride is about much more than a group of cyclists setting off on the same route.

Great club riding depends on teamwork, communication, trust and good etiquette.
As we transition into winter riding we're offering a special session designed to help all of us get even more from our club rides.

🗓 Sunday 25 October 9am Addenbrookes

Group Riding: The Art & Science of Riding Together  

✅ Why good group riding etiquette matters 

✅ How groups of riders work effectively together                                                                                                                  
✅ Common challenges faced on club rides            

✅ How to maintain safe, enjoyable riding standards over longer distances 

✅ Practical tips you can use immediately on future club rides

Winter Clubruns - Early Reminder

Club-runners are reminded that mudguards are required whilst the clocks are on Greenwich Mean Time, otherwise you may be asked to ride at the back of the group.

Show consideration to your club-mates by ensuring your rear mudguard extends below the wheel hub.

Attaching a rear mudflap helps considerably. We have custom mudflaps in stock £8. Contact the Clothier.
