Sunday club rides
At the heart of any good cycling club is a weekly club ride. We have our regular club rides every Sunday morning, with two to three groups going out at different speeds, so we are as inclusive as possible.
Our Sunday club ride is the perfect opportunity to meet other members – we pride ourselves on being a social and welcoming club, open to riders of all abilities.
Sundays, 8:30am, all year round.
The Brioche ride
Average speed of 15mph for about 40 miles
The Civilised ride
Average speed of 17mph for about 50-60 miles
The Nifty ride
Average speed of 19mph for about 60 miles
Our groups aim to ride within ±1mph of the average speed. In winter average speeds will be reduced to accommodate the road and weather conditions, and people’s fitness.
All rides meet at the pump on Histon village green.
Midweek rides
Wednesday 6:45pm at the pump
We run a pace line or chain gang ride every week throughout the year. The ride follows the same 42km (26 mile) route. We ride in groups of 4-12 (max) with two to four different speed groups depending on numbers.
These training session rides are open to HIBC members only. During the summer months, these are ‘drop’ rides – whilst the aim is to ride around as a group, riders unable to hold the pace will not be waited for and will have to make their own way round.

The more the merrier, just turn up and ride for a couple of hours.
