Club Rides

Dorking CC has five road riding groups as well as gravel/CX and MTB groups.

Sunday club road rides leave at various times, normally between 8:00 and 9:00, from Dorking Sports Centre.  These are non-drop rides, so you won't be left behind.  Ride length varies, but are usually 2 hours upwards.  Average speed for the road groups are:

D1* - 10mph to 12mph

D2* - 12 mph to 14 mph

D3 - 14 mph to 16 mph

D4 - 16 mph to 18 mph

D5 - over 18 mph

suitable for road & hybrid bikes

WNB - Wednesday Night Blast

Every Wednesday the club runs a paceline ride from outside the Queen's Head pub in Dorking. This 32km route is undulating but great fun, avoiding a lot of the busier roads nearby but still allowing for fast average speeds.

​

This ride is super fun for everyone, and works best when lots of people attend, then there can be multiple speed/ability groups. Non-compulsory social at the pub afterwards (not always the same pub, usually decided after the ride when congregating in the lay-by).

 

WNB riders split into multiple groups that can be agreed amongst attendees at the meet up outside Majestic Wine. Feel free to turn up earlier for a social chit chat before the ride. Each group will leave a couple of mins apart from each other. Suggested numbers that work well are usually 6-8 per group.

​

Disclaimer - WNB is not a race and is a purely social occasion which combines an enjoyable sporting activity and an evening meal. Any individuals communicating electronically or verbally to confirm the WNB arrangements do not assume any responsibility or liability for any injury, loss or damage incurred from participating in WNB. The risk of injury from cycling is significant and you knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of yourself or others and assume full responsibility for your participation.
