Ever popular and the bedrock of the club, the Sunday morning club rides are a great way to meet up with others, and to enjoy a pleasant time with cycling and a cafe stop. Prospective members are always more than welcome to meet up with us for one of these rides.
If you are unfamiliar with riding in a group should review the Club's Group Riding Etiquette and speak to a committee member if you have any questions.

How it works
These take place every week on Sunday mornings (plus other 'special' events like Eastbourne, Isle of Wight, Paris, Ghent).
Club runs depart from WASHINGTON Village Green, or the west side of ARUNDEL Town river bridge, or WEST WORTHING TENNIS CLUB. Start times are 09:00 (09:10 latest) unless otherwise stated.

The members are organised into separate groups to cater for differing abilities/aspirations, and also to ensure that the groups are not too large.
Typically we form two groups, a relaxed pace group targeting 20-25kph (12-15mph) and a medium group 25-30kph (15-19mph) with the same start time and elevenses venue but different routes. Alternatively, you can make your own way to elevenses.
We are usually home between 12:30 and 13:00. The distance including the ride from Worthing will typically be about 65-80km (40-50 miles). There are car parking spaces at Washington Village and West Worthing Tennis Club.
We also have a faster training group who do a mix of gravel, longer road rides and race/sportive events. The schedule for these rides are more fluid based on the weather and are advertised on our Facebook and WhatsApp groups.
All scheduled riders are included in the Annual Club Runs Attendance Points Trophy Competition. This runs from 1st October to 30th September each year.
Points are awarded as follows:
The rider with the most points at the end of the season receives a prestigious trophy and the presentation is at the club's Annual Awards Dinner.
Committee members are not always able to attend, so on those occasions make your own route or follow a suggested route, again to suit those present and not forgetting to report your attendance.

Points are awarded as follows:
- 2 points if you start with the run and complete the run with the club group
- 1 point if you proceed independently but attend elevenses
- 3 points if you are out all day on a Club touring activity i.e. Audax, Sportive or specially arranged runs.
