Wednesday Group

Wednesday Group's rides for 2008 can be found here.

The Wednesday Group meets at the Eureka Café situated at Two Mills crossroads at the intersection of the A540 and the A550 each Wednesday throughout the year. Riders usually arrive in time for a chat over a cup of tea or coffee prior to departure to venues and at times shown in the rides list. The main group has an appointed leader who normally decides the route and leads the group in accordance with CTC guidelines. Other 'spontaneous' groups may form, usually riding to the same venue but perhaps by a different route and at a rate with which the riders are more comfortable.

The winter rides in October through February, which again normally depart at 10.00am, do not have an appointed leader. However members usually gather at the Eureka and ride as informal groups. Winter lunch venues have been chosen to be within easy reach should the weather be inclement. If you choose to make your own way to a venue you should plan to arrive between 12 noon and 12.30pm.

New riders who are not already CTC members may ride up to three times with the group. Thereafter they must subscribe to CTC membership.

For any enquiries regarding the Wednesday Group and its activities contact Brian Lowe on 0151 348 4799 or Peter Barnes on 0151 648 2684.
