Recreational Rides

The core of the club's ride are the weekly recreational group rides for a mix of abilities. We normally don't have a coffee stop on rides, but will have quick breaks for food and then a coffee when we get back to Oxford.  Here's a quick summary of what we do:

• Saturdays 9am

  • 4 - 6 different groups.  Riders choose a group according to their ability.

  • Routes from 35 miles to 70 miles

• ​Sundays 9.30/10am

  • ​Two groups (a relaxed social ride and a faster ride)
  • Routes from 30 miles to 60 miles
• Mid-week rides​
  • One or two groups (social and faster ride) on Thursday 9am
  • Routes from 50 miles to 70 miles.
• Evening rides
  • When the light is good, normally April-September​
  • Two groups on Tuesdays (a social ride and faster ride) 5:30pm start
  • Routes 30 miles.
  • Thursday evening faster ride, 30 miles in 2 hours.  5.30pm start
  • Many members will go to the pub after these evening rides
