Normal club rides are on Sunday mornings and leave from Randburg Sports Complex.
Our rides follow a number of standard routes that we rotate through to provide some variety.
We strive to have a number of groups (A,B,C etc.) doing different distances and speeds to cater to all levels of rider.
Each group will have a ride captain who is appointed on that day’s ride (normally by group consensus) and has sole discretion as to the ride speed and deviations from the day’s route.
We promote keeping together as a group and we also endeavour to have a sweep rider (the ride captain or other designated rider) whose responsibility it is to control the group from the rear.
