Where and when we meet for rides:

We meet up at Piazza Martiri della Libertà, Santena, most weeks at 9.30 for various rides to different destinations. Distances of our rides tend to be 45 to 80kms but we do adjust these depending on the riders and weather conditions.

The club has a wealth of experience and always makes sure that our new riders are looked after on their first few rides. We pride ourselves in riding in a disciplined and safe manner and respect our fellow road users. For example we acknowledge cars that wait and pass us safely, we single file when safe and appropriate to do so. We also slow down for horses and chat to them as we pass, so that we don’t startle them.
