VCGH caters for a wide variety of road riders, from beginners or casual weekend riders to those training and racing regularly. This is a brief description of the rides we try and provide for our members. You can see a full list of those responsible for leading and sweeping on our rides here.
If you have not ridden with us before, please email our Club Captain Lara Taylor on captain@vcgh.co.uk or a ride section leader (see below) to introduce yourself and check you're joining an appropriate group.
For all rides, please bring basic puncture-repair kit, spare tubes, tyre levers, pump and multi-tool with you, as well as energy food, drink, and appropriate clothing to fend off the seasonal weather.
Please check the calendar for more information, and email the ride leaders if you have any questions. Useful Links:
Introductory
Ladies
Regular ladies' rides are organised at VCGH by Lara O'Keeffe and Ali Siddall. The format is varied, and rides are focused on consistent group riding in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Social
Social Moderate
Moderate Strong-paced rides in varied terrain, with emphasis on training and consistency. Riders regroup but the idea is to keep going.
Mod Plus Strong, fast-paced rides in varied terrain, with emphasis on training and challenge. Riders regroup but the idea is to keep going.
Pacy Challenging rides in varied terrain. Pace is group-dependent and can be fast, so you should have a good level of fitness and experience at group riding. Be prepared for a mix of steady group riding, through-and-off efforts, pushing hard up hills, and occasional sprints off the front. Riding with a GPS or map can provide you with a safety net if you decide to make your own way home.
