CTC Derby 

  • All rides start from the Assembly Rooms unless otherwise stated.

  • Suitable stops are made for refreshments, but it is a good idea to carry some food and drink.

  •  Please feel free to turn back at any time (tell the leader, please)

  •  It’s a good idea to carry a local map and some basic tools such as spare inner tube(s)/puncture repair kit, pump and waterproofs.

  •  Riders often come as far as the morning stop and then return.

Whilst all care is taken during club runs to ensure the safety of members and visitors, no responsibility can be accepted by the club or runs leader for accidents caused by individual riders erratic or irresponsible behavior.

 

  Evening Socials

We hold socials in different pubs in, or close to, Derby city centre - every Tuesday evening starting from about 8pm. There is appropriate car and bike parking close to each pub. The socials attract a good mix of people and a good night is usually had by all. It isn't just about cycling or drinking real ale so why not give one a go?  Also check the programme for one off events, slide shows, meals out, evening rides, photo evening, bowls matches, these  are just some of our recent activities.
