Another ‘brand spanker’ route from your Free Membership and Rides club, West London Cycling. A ride out westwards and back with a cafe stop at Sip and Spoke (previously VeloLife). We offer two route choices at 81km or 75km. It is anticipated that faster riders will take the longer route so that we can all enjoy each other’s company at the coffee stop which falls after the respective deviations. However, some of the more picturesque elements of this particular route are on the longer version.
81km 591m ascent
75km 512m ascent
Some cafe and Long Route teasers…..
We split into different speed groups on the road, depending on how many people are riding will determine the number of groups, 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.
GROUP RIDING: If you are new to club riding, West London Cycling is a great club to get into it with. Before you start, why not learn a few of cycling’s protocols and etiquettes? It’ll help you slot in and feel at home from the get-go!
THE FULL ROUTE: LONDON – WEST – LONDON
THE SHORTER VERSION: LONDON – WEST – LESS
