Change to Schedule for 22nd March 2026

Due to Road Works closing Gorse Lane from 23rd March, for 2 weeks, access to the Cricket Club could be problematic. We have therefore decided to bring the 13 Hills routes forward to 22nd March and from 29th March club rides will revert to starting from Grantham Market Place starting at 8.30, as the clocks will then have changed.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Starting from 09:00 on Sunday 11th January 2026 from Grantham Cricket Club on Gorse Lane, every Sunday until the 29th March 2026

2 routes every week, short route, medium and a long route, with distances increasing every week. Details and links below.

There will be 4 groups, which will be expected to ride together, keeping to an average speed in the range of:

Group 1           Shorter route 10+ mph

Group 2           14 to 15.9 mph

Group 3           16.0 to 17.9 mph

Group 4          18+

• Riders should be realistic about their capabilities and sign on for the group appropriate to their ability.
• Average speed agreed with each group beforehand dependant on route
• Will each rider also sign back in after each ride, so that we know you are safe, in case you cannot get back to HQ, emergency contact (TBA)
• Club donation £3 per ride. Non-members first ride – no charge.
• Please ensure your bike is in good working order and take food, waterproof clothing and spare inner tube etc.
