Road Rides
Treads CC Club local road rides around Northamptonshire are organised every Saturday on a weekly basis, usually with a designated cafe stop.
The ride distances are normally between 30-60 miles depending on the Short or Long route. We usually try to run both Group A and B (on the long route), with Group B & C (on the short route). If we have a smaller number of riders, the ride will join up into one group depending on ability and distance.
We alternate our meet point each week between the car parks of Harlestone Heath Garden Centre (ride in to find us) and Northampton Active off of the Bedford Road. Check the meeting times in the ride schedule, as during summer (BST) it's normally 8:45am meeting, with a 9:00am start time and during winter (GMT) it changes to 9:15am meeting, with a 9:30am start time.
