|
|
I've recently moved to Sutton Bonington. Could someone tell me which clubs use this route on their rides, I've seen a few coming throuhg, but not sure if it is a regular route?
It appears there aren't any clubs in Loughborough that are not run by/for the students. Am I missing something?
Thanks |

Yes. There's a ride from Loughborough Uni on Saturday mornings (9 o'clock at the fountain in front of the Union) including mostly Fontana CC riders - i.e. locals and maybe a few students if they can be to get up . We quite often go out through Sutton Bonnington. 3 to 4 hours including a cafe stop.

Velo Club Long Eaton ride through there on their Sunday Club rides sometimes, club members from Shepshed and Kegworth ride through Sutton B all the time.
The club 10 mile Time trials start in April just a couple of miles away at the layby near the Star pub West Leake.

We'll be riding past this Sunday, see the club website or this website for the route. |

Beeston CC and Beeston RC pass through all the time as well, Marle Pit Hill up over the railway from the village to the campus is a classic 'sprint to the top' climb, for fat blokes anyway. |
