Saturday Training & Social Rides
Every Saturday there are two faster paced , dropping rides named the 09.00 and 09.01 being the start times from the meeting point at Hatchmere (Delamere Road B5152 intersection with Ashton Road in front of the Fortune Palace restaurant). Both rides are ‘dropping’ rides so for any newcomers it is best to join some social rides to learn the ropes before joining these. The 09.00 ride is more suited to stronger riders with average speed of 19 to 21 mph whilst the 09.01 is usually between 17 – 19 mph. Both rides take the same route with a cafe destination in Holt near Wrexham either direct or with a loop around Bangor on Dee. The return leg goes via Tarporley through Eaton and in to Hartford via Whitegate which gives riders opportunity to peel off for their home destination.
A new addition to the calender is the Saturday Social Ride departing 09.02 from the same location as above. The pace will be suited to the slowest rider and the group will endeavour no rider is left behind, but please ensure you can get help or home if something happens.
Sunday Social Club Run
Unless otherwise stated, all road runs leave from Weaver Valley Cycling Club, Burrows Hill, Hartford CW8 3AA departing at 09.30 (see the map from the ‘How to find us’ menu). Please also ensure that you check the calendar, as further details will be posted there.
The pace will be suited to the slowest rider and the group will endeavour no rider is left behind, so come along and have a go!

If you fancy having a go at navigating a club run, or organising a club event, please step up! Its not a hard task and the advantage of being the navigator is that you get to decide where you are going and the speed of the run (with due consideration to the riders with you of course)!!
