Weekend rides
Who can join our rides?
We welcome people to join our rides who are
thinking about joining Southdown Velo or wish to find out more about
local cycling clubs and which one is the most suitable one for them.
We also welcome visitors to the area or the
occasional rider to join us.
If you wish to ride with us regularly we would
really like you to join Southdown Velo. To find out more about joining
Southdown Velo go to the Join us page.
There are two rides: Saturday
rides which are an easy pace and Sunday
rides which are mainly intended as training sessions. More details
below.
Sunday
training rides
Sunday rides start from outside our sponsor's
Geared Bikes and Wear
shop in Stockbridge at 09:30. There are usually two groups: on-road
and off-road.
The on-road ride is usually quite competitive
and many riders are using it as training for racing. If you are
looking for a more relaxed ride see below for Saturday rides.

| Rowlands Castle Cafe |
Saturday rides start at the Mercedes Garage
on the Bognor Road at 09:00.
The rides head out to the Cafe at Rowlands
Castle for tea and cakes.
The aim of the ride is to set a leisurely pace
that all riders are comfortable with.
We have introduced the concept of guardian
angels for Saturday rides. Guardian angels have special responsibility
for inexperienced and less fit riders.
Our first two guardian angels are Shaun Smart
and Chris Dobson. You can find out more on the Guardian
angels page.
