Winter Routes – During the winter months (date confirmed by the commitee via club comms) we operate 2 standard winter routes which are shorter given the dark nights and poor weather conditions. These routes have been selected based on road conditions, safety and traffic volumes. The route is not published ahead of the ride and members who are riding on the night can choose the route to suit them.
CV WINTER 1 – 24.2 miles 805 ft elevation – https://strava.app.link/rV9YQ28T0Mb
CV WINTER 2 – 24.0 miles 470 ft elevation – https://strava.app.link/z77krkcU0Mb
We now also have 10 set C Group rides which are slightly shorter so people can be aware of the plan for the evening and it ensures the group arrives back at similar times. Please find them below the A/B groups routes on this page
Please can we ask that where possible you download the routes to your GPS device as the more members that have the routes the easier and safer the navigation is, if you download them all at the start of the season it saves you downloading a seperate one each wee
