Club Rides

Cheltenham CTC riders cycling together on a club run

Our rides are usually split into 3 ability/speed groups:

  • A ride: averaging 13-17 mph
  • B ride: averaging 12-15 mph
  • C ride: averaging 10-13 mph

Throughout the week, there are a selection of rides; these include:

  • Full Day Rides: usually 60-100 miles, usually with a elevenses cafe stop and a stop for lunch at a pub or brewery.
  • Half Day Rides: usually 30-60 miles, with a cafe stop around 11am.
  • Cafe Meet Ups: the destination is pre-arranged, usually on the rides list, and ride members make their own way, meeting at the cafe.
  • Evening Pub Rides: usually 20-40 miles, setting off around 6.45pm for A rides and 7.15pm for B rides, with a destination of a local pub.

Most rides start from the Ice Cream Hut (ICH) on Central Cross Drive, Pittville Park, Cheltenham, GL52 2DX.
The only regular ride that is different is the Cafe Meet Up, where riders make their own way to the cafe destination.

Ride updates are also regularly posted on our WhatsApp community and Facebook Group. This is especially useful for last-minute changes or cancellations due to weather etc.
