KCC Sunday Club Ride

KCC Sunday Social Club Ride, a social gathering of all abilities, for members to meet and cycle together.

Sunday’s club run will be to the Hill Climb in Medbourne. The first rider is away at 10:00 a.m. so it would be wise to be at Medbourne Village Hall to sign on before 09:30.
For those who will be riding over from Kettering the group could meet at 08:30 and if you follow the route attached you should be there in good time.
I can see that we have a good number of riders already signed up but there are some regular Sunday riders and others who are keeping their powders dry at the moment. Please don’t be shy; with all of the good riders that we have in the club we could win this event but we need as many club members to participate. Pop over to https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080A4CA8AB2AA5F94-wvcc7#/ to sign up in advance even if that advance is when you wake up on Sunday morning. If you have some sort of techno phobia or like to keep things Old School then you can sign up on the line but you’ll need to be at the HQ in plenty of time to do that.
Any questions fire them over.

All abilities are catered for, we currently have riders who are riding at 13-14mph average up to 15-18+ mph average and we split into groups. We regroup when meeting at the cafe, or predefined stops.

The distance we do is around the 30 steady or 50 miles paced, this is again adjusted to suit the riders that are signed up, so we may do a bigger loop, and if we have new riders, we can accommodate with a shorter loop, the aim is for it to be a chance to catchup and natter, obviously riding safely.

If you are new to cycling and wish to join us, and you’ve not been riding with us before, we are a no drop policy and the slowest group will ride to the ability of that group, as we all have to start somewhere, and I remember bonking in my first rides… being kindly joined by an existing member of the KCC riders who joined me on my struggle homeward!

Here’s an outline of what to expect:

Venue
Starting point at Sainsbury’s bus stop on Rockingham road at 9.00 am and will be out for about 4 hours.

Published route.
Will be published here in the week before the ride.

Cafe stop
We will stop to refuel, at around 11am for coffee, tea or whatever your tipple is, along with cake…  and then return back to Kettering.

Making your way home
Many riders, living in villages in and around Kettering choose to peel off the route on the way back to Kettering and make their way home, if you do this, please let the group know so we are not waiting for you or think you have a puncture or got lost.

Please remember to wear your club jersey.
