This page shows the rides for the current period. A downloadable file is available at the end of the page but please check the website for the latest position – rides sometimes change. A list of location abbreviations is available in the second section of this page.
Ride leaders should ensure that they ride within the classifications as follows: (e)easy-average 8 to 10 mph, flattish, up to 35 miles; (m)medium-average 10-13 mph and/or some hills, 35-70miles; (h)hard-average 13+ mph and/or very hilly, 75 miles+.
Please ensure that all cycles have working lights. All rides are intended to run in daylight but lights may be required on occasion.
Please ensure that all cycles have mudguards where appropriate.
On Thursday 12th September the 2019 Tour of Britain is coming to Pershore. Stage 6 is a 9 mile individual time trial. So because the scheduled club Thursday ride was originally going to Upton on Severn, Nick Carter, the ride leader, has decided that the ride goes to Pershore instead. Those attending will see all of the Tour riders tackle the 9 mile course. Speak to Nick for more info.
