Our Rides

We meet every Sunday morning on Lemon Quay in Truro and host rides which cover all ranges of ability.

Sunday Club Rides are generally promoted via WhatsApp and booked using the Ride Hub.  There is usually an informal club ride on Wednesday evenings, organised via WhatsApp.

Easy/leisure Rides

For anyone who enjoys a leisurely ride in company, including families and beginners.

About 20–35 miles (32–56 km) maximum, at a target average speed of between 8–10 mph (13–16 kph).

Guest riders should have sufficient riding experience to achieve 25 miles (40 km) without difficulty.

Intermediate Rides

Targeted at an average speed of between 11–13 mph (18–21 kph) over a distance of 30–45 miles (48–72 km).

Club Rides

Ridden at about 13–16 mph (21–26 kph) average over a distance of 45 to 55 miles (72–88 km).

Average speeds above do not include stops. Rides will typically involve 3 to 3½ hours riding, plus a 30-60 minute stop for coffee/cake/brunch/lunch as appropriate.

For all rides, ride leaders will do their best to keep the pace within the target speed bracket, but will vary speeds as appropriate to accommodate different abilities of those in the group and depending on terrain. If it is clear that, within a riding group, all of the riders wish to increase (or decrease) the pace slightly, ride leaders will be free to do so but will take extra care to ensure that no leisure rider ‘drops off the back’.

Guest Rides

To take advantage of our free guest rides please contact admin@truro.cc. Guest riders should have sufficient riding experience to achieve 25 miles without difficulty. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
