CLUB RIDES
New riders are always welcome, and if you are already a CTC member you are automatically entitled to ride with us. Non CTC members are also very welcome, and are entitled to ride with us twice before joining; after two rides please ask the ride leader for a membership form.
We have a range of rides. On the first Sunday morning of each month there is an easy ride, designed for new, returning and/or inexperienced riders; these rides will be about 20 miles, on relatively easy terrain, and at the pace of the slowest rider. We have afternoon rides on Saturdays and winter Tuesdays, and pub rides on summer evenings - these rides are all relatively short. We also have full day rides on Sundays and once a month on a Thursday. If you have any questions about a particular ride please ring the leader - his/her name and phone number are with the ride details. Please be on time for rides - we aim to start no later than 5 minutes after the advertised time.
Bikes should be roadworthy, and you must have front and rear lights for evening rides and in the winter. You should bring a spare inner tube, other minor repair items, and some food (e.g. chocolate, biscuits), drink and money. .
Riders are expected to cycle behind the leader except when climbing hills when everyone should climb at their own pace, and wait at the top for the group to reform. You should keep in single file on narrow or busy roads, and on other roads when motorised traffic is overtaking.
TO POTENTIAL CTC MEMBERS.
See the CTC website for current membership rates.
The secretary Daphne Edwards has membership forms.
The main benefit of membership is liability insurance wherever and whenever you cycle, whether with CTC or not. You receive six editions of the CTC magazine each year, by post. You are also entitled to cycle with any CTC group, and particularly to come out on all our club events. We look forward to seeing you.
