Gloucester City Cycling Club

Training Ride
2023-05-14 09:00 - 13:00 (Europe/London) | King’s Square, 28 Oxebode, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL1 1AD, United Kingdom
Training Rides are around three hours with a coffee stop at Brockworth at the end. Average Speed of about 18-20 mph. The Training Ride will split into two groups, to help with mixed abilities & to encourage new riders, and to help anyone recovering from injuries. Once two groups are formed, there is no need to wait at the climbs, stay in two groups and if anyone falls off the faster group they will hopefully be picked up by the second group.
Training Rides DO NOT follow Club Ride practice, in that although they always regroup after a climb, participants must be prepared to be dropped on the run in back to Gloucester over the last 5-10 miles, if it speeds up at the end of the ride. They do not usually stop for coffee until the end of the ride. Participants need to be capable of 20+ mph bunch riding for at least 3 hours.

Chain Gang
2023-03-30 18:30 - 20:00 | Longford Inn, Tewkesbury Road, Longford Inn, Gloucester, GL2 9BE, United Kingdom
The Gloucester City Cycling Club Chain gang is a regular weekly occurrence. It is a Training event for any member to help them become a more accomplished rider, whatever their goal. 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.

We ask that when riders assemble at The Longford Inn they avoid obstructing the entrance to the pub for car drivers who are entering.
Small Groups will set off from 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.

Note that this event is for GCCC members only. Please respect this: if you bring someone along as a guest, please encourage them to join. Thank you.
