Rides start from either Great Ayton, Kirklevington Grange or Tees Barrage as per the rides list (unless otherwise stated); for Great Ayton starts, we meet at  Stamps Cafe, High Street, Great Ayton at 10.00 am for 10.30 am departure. Rides are about 30 to 45 miles in summer, and 20 to 35 miles in winter. Average speed is  typically 10 to 12 mph (16 to 20 kph). . Numbers vary depending on weather and season; ten riding is typical, but over twenty may be at the departure point. Some riders come part way or vary the route to suit their circumstances.

There is always a stop for lunch, in or near a pub or café, but most carry their own food & drink. During the summer there are commonly additional tea and/or ice cream stops, and there may be car assisted runs or alternative start points (see rides list).

IF YOU WISH TO RIDE WITH US...

Rides are open to all Cycling UK members. Non-members of Cycling UK may accompany up to three of these rides before there is an expectation to join Cycling UK. Non-members should inform the Ride Leader of their presence, and it would be most helpful if they could bring a completed guest consent form. This may be printed from the following link.

The ride leader also maintains an 'In Case of Emergency' (ICE) list, but we ask that ride participants carry their own ICE information if they are non-members or if they are not with a ride leader. We would advise against relying on having an ICE contact on your mobile phone in case the phone is locked if needed. Two suggested forms, one short and one long, may be downloaded from the 'Files' section of the club facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/780534078643034
