Social Club Runs

Saturday Club Run

We meet at around 10am at where Pilmoss Lane meets Hatton Road on Saturday mornings which are organised through our Facebook page to confirm rides and attendance each work, this really works for our members in order to understand who is out and when. The ride usually takes us to Walk Mill in between Waverton and Duddon. The ride from the meeting point is usually around 50 miles and can vary in pace usually depending who is out (and who is on the front). Please use our Facebook page (once you have been approved to follow our page rules), and you’ll get a view to when our members are riding.

Club Run, Centenery 100 Years Ride to Walk Mill

Sunday Club Run

We meet at the Cenotaph at Bridgefoot in Warrington Town Centre directly underneath the Union Flag Pole on Sunday mornings and we aim to leave at around 09:15. If you’re out for the day, it’s generally between 70-100 miles depending on weather, the time of year, or perhaps tired legs of riders who have raced the day before. If you are out all day, you can be back between 15:30 and 17:30 depending where you have travelled from, and also depending on the weather and how many times we stop for coffee and cake!

Some people can’t make it out all day so do a none stop ride and get home for 12:00-14:00 (approx. 55-75 mile). We all set off together in the same direction and ride together, the full day riders will keep heading towards to the planned cafe stop, whilst the half day riders will split off in order to get back home in time. These rides can average in speed from anywhere between 17 and 19mph over the day depending on the terrain and conditions and the riders who are on the ride.

Club Ride Out To Derbyshire, climbing up through Goyt Valley.

Remember, if your worried about the pace of the rides, the further back in the group you position your self the more energy you save, so position yourself in the group as appropriate to your standard. The pace will always be judged fairly on who is out on the day of the ride. We don’t really publish the route of the rides prior to the day due to possible changing weather conditions. We decide on the day where we go, so turn up and the experienced riders will make the required suggestions for a ride. No club leaves anybody behind in the middle of nowhere on a social ride, it just isn’t done, so don’t worry about that either.

For further clarification, the meeting place is known as Warrington Memorial Monument on Google Maps.

Sunday Meeting Point

If you haven’t been on a club ride before, here are a couple of videos you can watch to get a good idea of how they work. Remember, if you’re worried about the speeds, if you are sitting further back in the group, you can save up to 20% or more in effort as you get pulled along by the draft from the riders in front.

How to ride in a group (2)

In the interest of your own safety and well being, Warrington Road Club rule is for all riders to wear approved safety helmets on all our group rides. Your helmets should not have been involved in a crash impact.

All riders are reminded that they are responsible for their own safety; individuals take part in any group activities at their own risk. We strongly urge all riders to obtain appropriate 3rd party insurance as a minimum. It should be noted that no liability shall be attached to Warrington Road Club (including its officials and members) for any injury, loss or damage suffered.
