Club Rides
We run regular club rides every week to suit different abilities, rides at the weekend include a cafe stop. For details on all upcoming rides to see what we offer please see the calendar here.
We have a library of local rides that we use. They can all be found in the Selby Cycling Club "Ride with GPS" page here.
If you have the "Ride with GPS" app installed on your phone, the above link will take you to our Selby Cycling Club profile where you can see all of the club rides.
Guest Riders on Club Rides
Guest riders are more than welcome to join us for 3 Sunday club rides before becoming a member (Non-members are not permitted on other rides due to insurance). Under 18's need written parental consent, under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.
In the first instance, please contact us by emailing info@selbycyclingclub.co.uk if you would like to join us for a ride or for more information.
We would ask you read our club ride etiquette information prior to arrival.
Please note: Ride categories and timings may change subject to weather and rider numbers on the day. In winter the number of groups and distances of rides are reduced.
What to bring on a club ride?
A road worthy bike
A cycling helmet (mandatory)
At least one spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump (the ride leader will be happy to help you fix a puncture but may not have the correct size tube for your bike)
Food and drinks to keep you going. Always bring too much rather than too little. Flapjack, fruit loaf, Haribo, wine gums, fig rolls or cereal bars all work well
Wet weather clothing if required
Money for a café stop
During the winter season:
Lights are advisable when visibility may be reduced
Mudguards should always be used
Ride Categories explained:
Red: 19 mph.
Amber: 17 mph.
Green: 16 mph.
White: 13+ mph or the speed of the slowest rider, whichever is less. New members should start here.
These are rolling speeds, on the flat, with no wind. The pace of any group will be higher in strong tailwinds and on descents; lower in strong headwinds and on climbs; and will vary depending on the length and terrain of the ride. The speeds shown are not a target but are to enable you to select a pace group to suit your ability. If in doubt, start with a lower speed group and work your way up. If riders do get dropped during a ride because they’re in the wrong group, there’s no guarantee that the group will slow down. The group may collectively decide that they want to lower the pace to keep slower riders attached, but that should be a decision that they make and not something to be expected.
