About our club
Membership gives you access to all of our rides, social events and competitions. We are members of British Cycling, the Yorkshire Cycling Federation and Cycling UK. Some members just ride socially, or attend Sunday club runs, others race in cyclocross, triathlon, duathlon and time trials. There’s a wealth of knowledge amongst our members to support a range of abilities and goals, be it to complete a steady social club run or to ride from Lands End to John o’ Groats.
Sunday is our main club run day, meeting in the carpark in front of the row of shops, Whitehall Road, Drighlington, BD11 1BB. Meet times are 8:30am (British Summer Time) and 9:00am during the remainder of the year. We generally split into three groups with the stronger A Group riding at a faster pace with a second B Group following the same route at a steadier pace. Our C groups ride at a much steadier pace and cover shorter distances. All groups have a café stop on route and ride at the pace of the slowest rider, never leaving anyone behind.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays we have our social rides, these depart Drighlington crossroads all year at 9:30am. These rides are more adhoc and depend on the availability of ride leaders, for details of all rides please visit the events section of our Facebook group which can be accessed via our website. These rides are similar to the Sunday B group runs, some hilly and some flat (with some drive outs in the summer). The rides have a relaxed approach for those who like a social mid-week ride with a café stop.
On Wednesday evenings we have a training ride, ideal for those who would like to build speed and fitness. Departing our meet point (detailed above) all year at 6:30pm, the A & B groups tend to head east on a flat loop of around 35 miles during the dark winter months. The C group departs at the same time, however they will ride a max distance of 25 miles. During the summer, these rides can expand onto quieter roads and take in more challenging and hilly terrain. Regardless of distance, the aim is for a maximum ride time of two hours.
