Welcome to the Road section of Loughborough Students cycling club. Here you’ll find many enthusiastic and committed road riders. Our riders cover the full spectrum of road cycling from those who prefer a casual hour’s ride once a week to riders preparing for National Premier Calendar events.

Our programme of rides continues throughout the year and are always friendly and well attended.

Monday

Typically our riders like to use Monday’s as a rest day.

Tuesday

1 hour ride starting at 07:00 from Campus, it’s a great way to start your day.

Wednesday

Wednesday afternoon is the main ride of the week. Always the same route throughout the winter, always at a steady pace and a great opportunity to enjoy riding your bike and getting to know the other members of the club. We will offer 2 groups minimum; one for experienced riders capable of riding for 3hrs+ and one for those riders who don’t want to ride as far or as fast. This ride is typically 1 to 2 hours and led by an experienced LSCC rider.

In the summer, the route changes to allow a longer ride and an opportunity to test your early season legs on a friendly chain-gang.

Thursday

1 hour ride starting at 07:00 from Campus. Another opportunity to get some early morning miles in.

Friday

Take the opportunity to prepare for the weekend

Saturday & Sunday

Rides are run on both days, with groups set up to suit each riders ability. Typically you can expect a 3-4hour group and a 1-2hour group. We try to vary the route as much making use of Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Rutland and Derbyshire.

As well as our regular rides, our riders regularly post there own rides and routes on the forum. So if you looking for a ride, post a message – there is always someone who want to ride too!
