Members are encouraged to ride in different groups to suit the type of ride they want. If you want a more relaxing ride you are encouraged to ride in the group that will offer that but please bear in mind that you should not push the group outside of the expected speed**.
We aim to ride in small groups of 6-8 to ensure maximum safety for ourselves and other road users with a club Ride Leader in each group.
The club will also have at least one official group weekend ride a month. These rides are often of a longer length depending on the season and usually involve a café stop. The same colour codes apply.
In the off season (GMT), Wednesday nights switch to Harraby Cycle Circuit (a small fee applies to pay for floodlighting) where members can build their skill level as well as fitness.
Carlisle Reivers Cycling Club exists as a group of people who love to ride and its members are encouraged to post up a ride at any point during the week. These unofficial rides have proved extremely popular with good levels of club members riding throughout the week.
*Rides become monthly weekend rides in off season.
**Average speed may be affected by a variety of factors; hills & wind being significant. Ride Leaders have the discretion to exceed the stated average speeds providing everyone in the group agrees.
Weekend Rides
We have a monthly ride in the middle of each month (Club members only). The route and meeting place will be posted on our Club app and ride calendar.
Unofficial Rides
The Mid-week and Weekend rides are our Club Official Rides which will always be lead by a Ride Co-Ordinator; however, Club members regularly create their own unofficial rides throughout the week which any member is free to join. All unofficial rides are published on our Club app and ride calendar.
Racing
Carlisle Reivers Cycle Club is affiliated to British Cycling and CTT therefore allowing members with the correct supporting membership to race under the Carlisle Reivers team name.
We support Harraby Cycle Circuit and their racing programme as well as local time trial events.
Members can find more information about local racing events on the Carlisle Cycling Association
Facebook page.
