Ride 63 weekend rides will be taking place roughly every second weekend between April and October. Historically they have taken place on a Sunday morning but in 2026 we are going to experiment with Saturdays – and maybe afternoons too – and see if that allows more people to get involved.
PLEASE NOTE: All dates & times are provisional and weather dependent so please check the Facebook Group for confirmation that these rides are actually going ahead before turning up. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1645463259084958
We regularly start & finish our rides in Lochwinnoch or Beith, sometimes at a ferry port along the Clyde coast & occasionally further afield.
Our rides usually cover 30-40 miles (maybe 50-60 as the year goes on) but we sometimes often offer a much longer day out for those who are up for a challenge. There will almost always be a hill or two to contend with. We don't race or expect you to keep up with the bunch. Our emphasis is on sociable fun not performance so we operate a ‘no drop’ policy & aim to enjoy at least one cake stop en-route. For our local rides we might have two groups of riders catering for different fitness levels but there is not hard and fast rule so please be prepared to be flexible.
These rides are open to all club members and prospective members. We welcome guests who might be visiting the area as well, but you may be required to take out Club membership for insurance purposes.
Prospective members are very welcome at any time of the year but please contact us before joining one of our rides. We expect you to be competent at riding on public roads & hope that you can take care of basic things like fixing a puncture but we are very supportive and aim to help you improve as cyclists while having fun.
If you are not sure if your fitness is up taking part in these weekend rides then our Tuesday & Thursday evening rides would be a better place to start. They cater for a wider range of fitness & experience so are a ideal for new members to joining us for the first time. If in doubt, please ask!
