ROUTE AND START TIME NOW AMENDED DUE TO ICE – START 10.30am and AMENDED ROUTE (TAPERED TAPLOW)

It’s been a long time since we did this one, an old original from our early days. Cafe stop at Dorney Court (please note that this is not marked on the route and is on the left shortly after Dorney Common at 28km). A nice early year ride to get you into 2025.

Just turn up at 9am at the Polish War Memorial (A40 Ruislip / Northolt) with the route downloaded on your device. To get the route you need to sign up (free – see button above to subscribe) and then you’ll have access to our routes via the members’ zone tab above (choose routes and rides).

We decide on the day as to how many groups we split into (usually 4 groups during summer) it really depends on who turns up. The faster groups will usually do the longer of the two options with the aim of us all reaching coffee stops at similar times.

You can choose your route on the day, and which group you ride in. As stated above, we generally have several groups on the road, depending on how many people are riding, so it’s flexible and tailored to riders’ needs. The slowest group will generally wait for the slowest rider (or split into sub groups) but you should be able to manage 30kph on flat stretches with an average speed of around 22kph over the distance. Faster groups will be more speedy of course.

OPTION ONE: Tap out to Taplow 60km

OPTION TWO: Tap, Tap, Tap out to Taplow 63km
