Club Runs

For the hardy and the brave, the seasoned enthusiast and the novice, year-round Sunday runs are at the heart of the club’s activities. Three grades of riders are catered for by three kinds of rides

Club run 1
First, is a one hour ride of about ten miles, which begins at 10.00 am at the Light Railway Café in Hythe. It is an undemanding agreeable social ride that ends at about 11.00 am back at the Light Railway Café.

Club run 2
Second is an intermediate disciplined ride that is guided by an experienced club member. The ride encompasses a range of topography – flat and easy or hilly and hard – traversed at an average speed of up to 15 mph. The ride begins at the Light Railway Café, Hythe, at 9:00 am and ends at the same place at about 11:00 am.

Club run 3
Third is a more arduous ride that aims at high average speeds (17 to 19 mph) and/or interesting hill climbs (up to 20% gradient). A variety of routes embracing the flat but windy Romney Marsh or its hilly periphery of central and east Kent are the measures of the challenge. This ride also begins at the Light Railway Café, Hythe at 9:00 am, and ends about two hours later at the same place.

If you need advice about the level of ride suitable for you, then contact any club member or use the contact page on this website.
