The Gloucester City Cycling Club Chain gang starts its regular weekly occurrence on Thurs 31st March.

It will improve your discipline when riding in a group at whatever pace you choose on the night, and will certainly help your fitness,
We encourage all members to have a go.

Small Groups will set off from The Longford Inn at 6.30 at 2-3 min intervals & various speeds so try and choose your group accordingly. By so doing we aim to avoid holding up a long line of cars, if we can help it. The group will cross the Haw Bridge or Mythe Causeway, depending on the weather conditions and light, then return along the west side of the river and finish at the layby just before the Over roundabout.

Please respect all road users when riding in a group and be considerate to drivers entering and leaving the Beefeater before and after the ride.
