Road Rides
The club has group rides throughout the week, as well as members participating in races, sportives and audaxes. Rides are open to all so just come along and join in.
​
The Tuesday Social
The Matlock CC Classic Weekly Road Ride meeting at Crown Square Matlock leaving 7pm,.
Tuesday night social rides leave from Crown Square at 7pm every Tuesday through out the year. We ride between 25 and 35 miles and aim to be back in Matlock between 9pm and 9:30pm. Nobody gets left behind, but everyone should expect some hills, after all it is the Peak District. After the ride, those that can, congregate in the Thorn Tree Inn where Pat, the landlord, makes us feel welcome and provides us all with plenty of warming food. If you are part of the club, or thinking of joining us, you are most welcome on a Tuesday, even if it's just to the pub!
Lights are required please!
