Sunday rides
Our Sunday morning rides have been the linchpin of the Club from the outset.
We have up to 8 groups, each with its own speed and distance criteria. They leave from the Carfax (map) between 09.00 and 09.20 depending on the group, normally arriving back in town by 12.30-1pm. There is also an offroad/gravel group, which schedules rides every few weeks.
Some groups will occasionally schedule longer rides, which may start earlier and/or return early afternoon.
Normal Sunday rides do not run when Club Reliability Trials are scheduled (see Events) or when ice/extreme weather is forecast.

We have up to 5 speed groups on Saturday, all leaving from Horsham Park bandstand (map) at 08.30 (BST) or 09.00 (GMT). Rides arrive back mid-morning.

Routes / Roads database
Our members have built a database of their favourite local routes using RideWithGPS and are adding to the list all the time. Each route shows distance, elevation and start point and offers a downloadable GPX file for use with navigation devices.
