Our Typical Calendar
Weekly
We meet every Wednesday and Sunday except when there is ice prevalent or it is raining heavily
Periodically
We will enjoy a sportive or two each season, often 60+ miles.
There are frequent charity day rides in which to participate and we will enter a few each year.
We often plan an all day ride in the summer.
Annually
We try to incorporate one long trip each year.
In 2010 a group of 11 of us cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats - 15 days cycling with a day off en route.
Since then we have made several trips to France to connect with the Tour de France and spend a few additional days touring a different area each time.
One year we spent 5 days touring in Holland.
More recently we made a tour in Germany and cycled the Berlin Wall.
The Randonneurs are surprised to find
an inspiring road sign in the Vendee
when on tour in 2018.
You are welcome to join us on any of our rides, just turn up, introduce yourself and join in. After 4 rides we will ask you to become a member. There is a modest annual fee, and this also joins you to the CTC with their third party insurance scheme.
Our preferred mode of transport.
Ladies definitely welcome too.
