The speeds described here assume flat terrain. Generally, our club rides have a pace of around 18 – 20 mph for the first 10 miles to get warmed up. After a short break, the pace increases to 20 – 22 mph, until the last 15 miles or so when the pace increases again. As we have members of varying abilities, we re-group at the tops of climbs. Club etiquette is to stop for all mechanical issues.
Each club ride has a tab on the left, below. Click the tab for details of that ride including a link to the Strava route page where you can download the GPX file for your Garmin.
