Group 2 Sunday Rides

Group 2 is the next set up from our G3  rides. Led by experienced riders, this group will usually cover between 55 to 70 miles, depending upon the weather and the time of the year. The pace is relaxed, between 14-15 mph. A tea stop is included. There is plenty of opportunity to meet other members of the club and take in the Kent countryside.

The group meets every Sunday at 9.15am at the Royal Oak Pub car park, Green St Green, BR6 6BJ (see map). We have a number of group leaders. Click here to contact Steve Riley, membership secretary for more details, or see the Events page of the website for details of the next run.

We ride as a group. The group will stop for any punctures or mechanical issues and no one gets left behind. 

Club Run Rules

Riding in a group is very different from riding on your own. Other cyclists in the group are depending on you to ride in a safe and predictable manner, so it is important to adhere to 'group riding etiquette'. All of the Sunday club run rides, particularly Group 3, provide guidance to riders on how to ride in a group. By way of summary:

• NEVER brake sharply if there's someone behind you;
• Please point out the p-p-p-potholes;
• NEVER overtake another rider on the inside, unless you shout "coming through" or something similar;
• NEVER turn sharply right or left unless you give plenty of warning;
• If you are at the front of the group and miss a turning, do not make a last minute manoeuvre. Instead, continue past the junction and turn in your own good time.
