There are usually two rides (numbers dependent); a faster group riding ~75km at about 26-27 km/hr (16-17 mph) and a slower group riding ~65km at about 22-24 km/hr (14-15 mph).

Towards the end of the ride, the two groups meet at a cafe for a social chat and take the opportunity to take on as many calories as we can without our other halves noticing.

No-one is left behind as the groups ride at the pace of the slowest rider. It’s great for athletes to graduate from group training rides on the track to social riding in the wild!

Often starts at the Drum and Monkey but details of the ride are posted on the Solihull Triathlon Members Group on Facebook. The start time may also vary as the days get shorter.

This ride may get cancelled if the leader believes the temperature will be 3 degrees or less or the wind speed is a above 25mph. Cancellations will be posted to the Solihull Triathlon Members Group on Facebook.
