Role on those glorious summer evenings is what we say.  In fact DCC members have been calling out for, and who can argue against that!

 The aim is to get a good workout in for A, B and C riders.  The rides may well be followed by some social rehydration and general chin-wag.   

  • ‘C group rides at 16-18 mph. On a route that varies week to week. Please check our Facebook Group for the announced route. 
  • ‘B group’ riding at 18-20 mph average. Fixed route each week. 
  • ‘A group’ riding at 20+ (how much over 20mph depends on the riders) Fixed route each week.
 
  • All groups Depart from Droitwich Lido Car Park at 18:20 prompt.
  • The A and B group also pick-up in Crowle (opposite the pub) at around 18:35 to 18:40.  A & B groups ride together as far as Flyford Flavell.
