Ride calendar

The following rides are planned.

Sunday rides start at Hornbeam Park railway station off Hookstone Road, at 9.30am from April to October and 10am from November to March unless stated otherwise. There are also occasional Speedy, Super Easy and other rides. Please check this page regularly for latest details. We look forward to welcoming you to WHEEL EASY!

Wednesday evening rides (May to August) start at 6.30pm prompt, also from Hornbeam Park. The pace is medium/fast typically averaging at least 12 mph on hilly routes. If you are not sure of your abilities you are still very welcome and you will get a lot of encouragement. But be prepared to turn back if you are struggling to keep up with the pace. It is an ad hoc arrangement so rides and leaders are sorted at the rendezvous. Lights are essential in case of a gloomy evening or delays. We also recommend taking a full water bottle and tool kit.
