Sunday Club Rides

The backbone of all clubs... Sunday Club Rides!
Our Sunday Club Rides cater to a wide range of cycling abilities and preferences, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Each ride offers a chance to enjoy the beautiful countryside, improve fitness, and share the camaraderie of group cycling. A cafe stop is a standard feature of all our Sunday club rides, providing an opportunity to rest, refuel, and socialise.

Club Rides start from Sleaford Marketplace, every Sunday and leave at 09:15 sharp. Arrive a little early to get sorted, pick your group and meet your fellow riders.

Below is an outline of our ride categories:

Leisure Ride

A relaxed, gentle social ride ideal for those new to group road cycling or riders who enjoy a steady pace. Perfect for individuals who already cycle regularly on their own or with a few friends and want to experience the benefits of group rides. The group goes at the pace of the slowest rider and regroups when necessary.

  • Pace: Average 12 mph

  • Distance: Typically 20 to 25 miles

  • Terrain: Generally easy, though some hills may be encountered

Sleaford Wheelers Social Ride

Social Ride

This ride offers a slightly faster and more challenging experience than the Leisure Ride. It’s ideal for riders with a reasonable level of fitness and some group riding experience who want to push themselves a little further. Routes may include hillier sections.

  • Pace: 14+ mph

  • Distance: 30+ miles

  • Terrain: Varied, with potential hills

Sleaford Wheelers Ladies Social

Social + Ride

Designed for experienced riders who enjoy a more sporting social ride. This ride includes opportunities to tackle challenging hills and harder efforts, with regular regrouping to ensure a social aspect remains. Suitable for fitter cyclists who are comfortable riding in a group.

  • Pace: 16+ mph

  • Distance: 50+ miles

  • Terrain: Often includes challenging hills

Club Ride

Our fastest-paced ride, tailored for experienced and fitter riders, including regular racers and sportive participants. This ride is excellent training for charity rides, sportives, or entry-level racing. While we aim to stay together and regroup after intense efforts, participants should be self-reliant and prepared to ride solo if unable to maintain the group’s pace.

  • Pace: 18+ mph

  • Distance: Approximately 60 miles

  • Terrain: Varied, with intense efforts and challenging sections
