Tuesday Morning (Midweek Ride)

These mid-week rides (fondly known as the ‘Slackers Ride’) were first established by members with a flexible approach to work or retired members (hence the nickname). The rides nowadays are populated by members from all corners of the club especially when taking holidays or during career gaps.

Like the regular Park Ride, riders organise themselves into groups of similar pace. There is no intention to drop riders, but it can happen in the faster groups, so riders in these groups need to be self-reliant and be happy to drop to a group behind (if there is one). The route, along with how the groups plan to ride e.g. pace, regrouping after climbs, coffee stop (if any!) are all agreed just before departure. The Tuesday Midweek ride is typically a flat ride.

Any first timers should make themselves known so they can get the most out of it.
