Club Runs  2010

From The Eureka Cafe

For many years now there have been Chester Road Club rides out of the Eureka Cyclists Cafe, at Two Mills, on the Wirral. These start at 10am on Sundays and Wednesdays. The destination is decided on the day, taking into account the weather and time of year - available light. The pace is moderate at 12 to 14 mph computer average and the destinations vary from the hilly Halkyns and Clwyds to the Cheshire and Shropshire plains. Number of riders vary between four and twelve and the ride length is usually around 60 miles. The format is to get to the Eureka cafe before 10am for a cuppa, decide on the lunch venue, do the ride and get back to the Eureka before 4:30pm for refreshment and reflection.

From Chester

There are alternative Sunday rides, starting at the County Officers Social Club on Plas Newton Lane.  All the details for these rides can be found by visiting http://100smilers.blogspot.com/ .  As the name suggests, these rides are of 100 miles duration and take place when the weather is suitable; there are no rides when it is very wet, very windy or icy.  Destinations range from Rhos-on-Sea in the west, Shrewsbury in the south and Wildboarclough in the east.  We ride in 'through and off' formation at a pace of 14 to 17mph computer average and have one stop for lunch.  The destination is posted on the blog (the link above) by 6 o'clock on the Saturday and confirmed, or cancelled, when riders have posted their intentions, at 7 o'clock.  if there is no ride due to adverse weather conditions, this is also posted on the blog.  Start time is 8am in winter to make best use of the available light but may be later in the summer months.
