More About Ripon Loiterers

The Ripon Loiterers receiving The Mrs Peter Rowntree Cup as the CTC Local Voluntary Group of the Year 2005.

Our aim is to get out and see some of the countryside around Ripon with like-minded people, on bikes, for the good of our health and for fun. We make all new members very welcome and never leave anyone behind. We will assist with road side repairs and punctures if cycling is new to you. We usually have a café stop and other occasional social events and always plan to make our cycling enjoyable.

We have two sections:

Easy Riders
We cover about 30 miles on any outing but more or less according to weather and mood. Our usual average speed is 10 MPH. We explore the local villages via the quiet lanes and byways.

Longer Rides Section
We cover between 30 and 100 miles, occasionally more, dependent on the day and weather, with most rides in the 40 – 60 mile bracket.
Rides frequently explore the more interesting and hilly sections of the countryside which this additional range allows us. You can choose to join a ride with car support part way round.
Our usual average speed is 12- 14mph, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
