Joining a Droitwich Cycling Club  group ride can be a great experience for a lot of reasons—whether you’re local, new to the area, or just getting into cycling. Here are some solid reasons to give it a go.  We have different speeds and distances on offer.  Sunday group and ad-hoc rides often include a cafe stop mid-way. 

If you are new to group riding, please watch the videos below.  We will happily provide you with support on the day too, so please make your self known to the ride leader on the day.

• Build fitness and improve your riding: Group rides push your pace in a fun way—without feeling like a solo workout. You’ll learn how to ride more efficiently, especially in a peloton (drafting, pacing, etc.).
• Sharpen Your Bike Handling Skills: Learn to ride smoothly in close proximity to others.
• Explore New Routes: Discover scenic routes that you might not find on your own. The club often mixes it up with flat spins, hilly rides, and café stop.
• Social & Supportive Atmosphere: Post-ride café culture is strong—expect a coffee and a cake or two! You’ll meet a welcoming community that makes cycling more fun and less intimidating.

• Motivation & Accountability: It’s easier to commit to regular rides when you’ve got a crew expecting you.  You’ll stay more consistent and motivated over time.

• Safety in Numbers: Riding in a group can be safer: better visibility to cars, help if you have a mechanical or puncture, and instant support if anything goes wrong.
