Telford Cycling 

Telford Section Rides List - April to September 2008 

All rides start from the car park outside Wellington Leisure Centre unless otherwise stated.  New riders and visitors are always assured of a warm welcome and there is no commitment to join the CTC to try any of these rides.

D rides (shaded grey) are up to 20 miles maximum at a pace to suit the slowest riders, we aim to be home by around 1.30pm (would suit novices and families).  If you would like to know more about a particular ride then please contact the appropriate ride leader who will be happy to answer any questions or for general enquiries contact Steve Holloway on 01952 249202.

If you haven't been with us before, you may be wondering what to take with you. The bike needs a spare inner tube, pump and tools to remove wheel and tyre in case of punctures (rare).  The rider needs a drink for en-route and lunch or money to buy food.  Waterproofs are sometimes needed and should always be taken just in case!  It is more comfortable to carry spare items on the bike in a saddlebag or pannier.

 

You do not have to be a member to try any of these rides, however you are limited to attending six rides as a 'guest' before you are expected to join the CTC. Members have valuable benefits including third party insurance, legal aid, advice on all aspects of cycling and an excellent bi-monthly magazine.  The CTC has an increasingly important role in working for all cyclists.  For details call 0870 873 0061, please quote our DA code ('L2') in any membership application.
