Stafford Road Club offers many different cycling events which cater for all abilities. There are numerous lead rides each week that are designed to allow everyone to find a group who’s speed and planed distance and duration will suit their own.
Take a Look at the ‘What’s on this Week’ feed to see which groups are planning on riding, the meeting point, speed and expected arrival time back into Stafford
Looking to ride with a group? We organise club rides throughout the week and at varying speeds to accommodate all levels of riders. Club rides are a great way to make new friends and meet more riding buddies, as well helping encourage you to push yourself in the sport.
Training in good company can be much more productive than going solo. Learn from others training programs, and push yourself to challenge fellow riders in our group training rides. For more information about these rides you can contact us to find out exactly what we will be doing each week.
Time trialing is the simplest of the competitive forms of cycling: a race against the clock, with riders starting a minute apart. It’s known as the ‘race of truth’ because there’s nowhere to hide, no one to draft behind; just you and the bike and the thumping of your heart. Oh, and a clock ticking.
We run road race events as part of the Stafford Road Club, we also help organise some of the West Midlands Evening League events. Our events all go through British Cycling so points are available and BC rules and regulations apply.
Challenge Rides are aimed at the cyclist who wishes to test themselves over a set course, which is sign posted and has a number of feed stops along the way. There are challenge rides all over Europe, the most well known being L’etape du Tour, where rider get to tackle a real Tour de France stage with full race support.
Members sometimes forgo the “road” part of the club, take out their mountain bikes and head out to the woods to follow trails and get muddy.
