Southborough & District Winter 2009/10 Sunday Club Run

The start points vary and will usually start between 9:15 and 9:30. Please check the website regularly for start points and times.

The runs will be suitable for anyone who can average an minimum of 14mph and will be approx 3- 3 1/2 hrs in duration. Coffee stops will be at the discretion of the run leader. The runs are not a race or training ride and the pace will be that of the slowest rider and will regroup at the top of hills etc. If there are enough riders then the run may split into 2 groups

If the weather is inclement on the morning please call the respective ride leader, again details will be on the calendar entry.

Guests are welcome to come along, though if you intend to regularly ride then it will be expected that you become a member.

Occasionally, due to other club events and commitments there may not be a ride - check with the calendar and latest news for announcements or contact:

Club Run Etiquette

  • Arrive on time, we do leave promptly.
  • Ensure that your bike is in good order
  • Bring spares and tools especially an inner tube (or two), tyre levers and pump.
  • Bring some money in case we have a cafe stop
  • Adhere to the rules of the road: you are our club's as well as cycling's ambassadors.
  • Generally we ride two abreast but to enable traffic to past safely we may need to "single out", especially on busy roads.
  • Warn other riders of hazards such as cars, horses, pot holes, pedestrians, etc.
  • Wait to regroup if the group splits on a hill.
  • Greet other road users politely.
  • Ride in a manner that is predictable and safe.

Above all - enjoy yourself
