Runs Lists and help with route planning
Midweek Rides
After a leisurely morning coffee we depart in various groups to the agreed destination.
Riders can choose to ride with whatever group is most suited to their ability.
Complete Runs List
The Runs List records our normal Wednesday rides; it shows start location, time, leader, destination etc. The leader of a ride has the opportunity to add a ‘clickable route’ to add an entry.
A summary of the week's runs is also shown on the home page of the website.

Help with planning your route
If you want to plan a club ride but you haven't decided where to go, click on this image to jump to our handy lunch venues database and map.
And/or scroll through the runs library - it's a useful resource for anyone wanting to plan a route. If you find something, just upload into your own route planner and tweak it around to suit your needs. But before you put too much work in, have a word with your runs co-ordinator(s) to check what slots they need to fill.

Additional resources
There are two navigation/planning apps that are used most frequently by club members, and we have produced some user guides for both. You'll find links to our learning resources in the help menu, or you can go directly to the relevant page by clicking the links below.
Komoot is a good all-rounder which can assist with planning cycling (road/mountain/gravel) and other activities like hiking and running. To jump to our help page on Komoot click on this image.
Ride with GPS (RWGPS) is the Club's default route planner. It is more cycling orientated than Komoot and it can produce a lot of analysis of your activity if you want. Click on this image to go to our RWGPS page.
