In the summer we offer three types of weekly rides: A Ride, B Ride and C Ride.
Saturday and Tuesday are full on training rides, that are split by speed groups and often run different routes. While Thursday Night is Club Night for #BNTW.
#BNTW DDC Thursday Ride is an ideal night to come along and try out riding with the club. We have a steady ride up, then split into three pace groups with time gaps and let the chase begin on the Pattingham Loop, before riding back together and hitting the Hinksford Arms for some well deserved beers.
C PACE RIDES
The DDC C Ride typically runs at an average of around 17–19+ mph.
We aim to ride together as a group and try to operate a limited no drop policy for a C Ride Pace.
All members are included in our WhatsApp chat, where we share weekly ride plans, updates, and any bad weather protocols that might affect our schedule.
Ride Leaders: TBC
B PACE RIDES
The DDC B Ride typically runs at an average of around 18–20+ mph. We aim to ride together, at a consistent pace and will stop or slow at key points to regroup. Waiting for dropped riders is at the discretion of the group.
All members are included in our WhatsApp chat, where we share weekly ride plans, updates, and any bad weather protocols that might affect our schedule.
Ride Leaders: Jim Galloway and Matt Cartwright

A PACE RIDES
The DDC A ride averages 20 - 23+ mph — and is typically a full drop ride, but pacing and waiting is at the desgression of the group. It’s fast, focused, and built for riders who want to push their limits.
All members are included in our WhatsApp chat, where we share weekly ride details, updates, and any bad weather protocols that may affect the schedule.
Ride Leaders: Josh Williams, Neil Ruston and Lee Wood.
