Quote of the Day
I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it's not going to be satisfying. Greg LeMond

Kenilworth Wheelers Club Rides

The Kenilworth Wheelers organises regular Saturday, Sunday and Friday club runs and training rides throughout the year.

Club Runs

Wheelers clubruns take place regularly throughout the year as follows.
Newcomers to club riding should read and make sure they understand the Clubrun Guidelines Click here to open a copy.

Saturday Runs
The Saturday club Runs are typically around 50 miles and are ideally suited to novice and intermediate riders. The runs start at 9.00am at Warwick Castle gate next to the Castle Hill/Mill Street roundabout, Warwick. The first ride of every month (indicated in bold) is a beginner's run and is designed to suit newcomers of only modest fitness.

Sunday Runs
There are two runs to choose from on a Sunday, an "A" Run and a "B" Run. The "A" Run will typically be around 85 miles in summer and 65 in winter. These rides are aimed at riders of above average fitness. The runs start at 9.00am at Warwick Castle gate next to the Castle Hill/Mill Street roundabout, Warwick.

TBA	Who knows?

The "B" Run meets at the same time and place but will be similar to a Saturday ride. The tea stop destination will be decided each Sunday morning by general agreement of the "B" Run group.

Friday Runs
A steady ride on Friday morning for those members who don’t have a “proper” job and don't fancy another episode of "Cash In The Attic" or "Banacek".
Meet at 9.30am on the main road through Norton Lindsey (Wolverton Road) at the junction with Curlieu Lane, about 200m before the school (coming from Warwick direction). Click here for map. The ride generally goes to Hillers Farm Centre, Dunnington for a cup of tea, and covers a distance of about 45 miles (assuming you started and finish in Warwick). Don't worry, you should be home in time for Neighbours.

Training Rides

Training rides take place each evening except Friday during the summer months. The rides generally start when the clocks go forward for British Summer Time and finish in October. These rides are fast and fairly serious in the sense that if you get dropped you have to find your own way home.

Monday
Meet at 7.00pm in Haseley Knob, by the phone box. Click here for map.
A 1 hour blast around a 20 mile, mainly flat route through Honiley, Temple Balsall, Darley Green, Packwood House, Lapworth, Lowsonford, Shrewley, and back to Haseley Knob. This is a good training session for beginners or the less fit - there is only one tough drag near the end of the ride between Lowsonford and Shrewley.

Tuesday
Meet at 6.45pm on Coventry Road, Warwick, at the bus stop/layby just north of the Spinney Hill roundabout. Click here for map. A seriously hard ride for the very fit, this is a 35 mile loop to the south-west of Warwick finishing with a sprint for the Norton Lindsey village sign before a steady ride back home. This ride (and the Thursday ride) is not organised by the Wheelers but is a meeting of riders from around the area who join up to make a very hard and very effective training "bash".

Wednesday - Ladies Only
This session is for ladies only.
Meet at 6.45pm on the Henley Road (A4189) about 2 miles west of Warwick at the left turn to Norton Lindsey (SP Norton Lindsey and M40) just beyond Hampton on the Hill. Click here for a map. The ride follows part of the Tuesday and Thursday routes but with a distance of around 20 miles finishing at the New Inn in Norton Lindsey, followed by a gentle ride home from there.

Wednesday
Popular ride introduced in 2009. Meets at 6.45pm at Compton's Garage at the top of Windmill Hill in Cubbington Click here for map. The ride is about a 25 mile loop on quiet, flattish (mostly) roads, out towards Napton etc.
Pace a touch faster than a Monday night fast group (perhaps suitable for Tues/Thurs wannabes).

Thursday
Same session as Tuesday
