South Hertfordshire Cyclists' Touring Club
Click on photo to see next...What do we do?
We are a leisure cycling club with weekly rides on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. Shorter/easier rides are run on Saturday mornings.
Sunday rides have a morning coffee break, lunch stop and (summertime only) a tea break in the afternoon. The first Sunday each month we lead a shorter morning ride too. In fact some people cycle back from coffee or lunch most Sundays; others stay out all day. As our weekend ride reports show, a Sunday ride to coffee and back could be 30 miles. In the summer months a full Sunday ride could be over 60 miles. In the winter, rides are shorter (about 40 miles) and the lunch stop nearer to the start so we can often get back before dark.
Saturday Saunter morning rides are no more than 20 miles and go at a speed that suits everyone.
Our popular midweek rides start from St Albans on Wednesday evenings and aim for an energetic 90 minute ride to a local pub.
We also run 5 Miles to Fabulous rides especially for women and have occasional car-assisted rides, weekends away and longer tours.
