Calendar

Every so often we get lucky. Like those moments when you put on an old coat and find money in the pocket, or you get to the end of the month and find you’re got an extra Friday. This is for those special days.

This could be anything, but will almost certainly be aimed at more experienced riders. More details will be published nearer the time.

Once a week, we like to go a little bit off-piste, especially for those luckier enough to be able to come out to play on Friday morning. These rides are predominantly for our Club & Gold Members, but we do welcome guests, particularly on the first Friday of the month, when we open our doors to the British Cycling Guided Ride programme.

This will be a 20 mile ride, aimed at relative newcomers to cycling or those who just want to get to know the area. The start for these rides will be 10:30 from West Malling Cycles and is open to all. If you’re registered on the Let’s Ride website, you can sign-up for any of our social rides there: https://www.letsride.co.uk/groups/sofa-to-saddle-west-mallinghttps://www.letsride.co.uk/groups/sofa-to-saddle-west-malling.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Inline with government guidelines our group activities resumed on 4th July 2020.
In order to minimise the disruption to you, the riders, we are manually confirming all bookings. The details of each ride can still be found on the booking system, but if this is your first ride with us since lockdown, we ask that you email us to confirm your intention to join us. This will allow us to better manage groups and ensure compliance with social distancing measures.

If you have booked, either online or by email, you should receive a confirmation email 48 hours before the event, with details of any changes to meeting places and start times. If you haven’t received a confirmation by the day before the event, please contact us by email on info@sofa-to-saddle.org.

Please click here to visit the Booking Requests page for further details.

We regret that any rider turning up without a confirmed booking will be unable to join the rides.

For this, the third Friday of the month, we’ll meet at our regular haunt, West Malling Cycles, for a 10:30 start. Although you should keep an eye out for any changes to the start time or location. For our longer rides, we’ll generally aim to get away a bit earlier.

Our Social Rides are free to all participants. And as the name suggests, they are purely social rides. This means we travel at a speed that allows free-flowing conversation and on roads where we can safely ride together, generally two-abreast. There’s no timer and the last person home is always one of the ride leaders.

Anyone can join one of our Social Rides, but we do insist that you register beforehand, so that we can ensure that there is an appropriate number of experienced ride leaders. There are no charges and no obligations. If you wake up on the morning of the ride and it’s tipping it down outside, you can just pull the duvet over your head. We won’t be too offended but we would appreciate it if you let us know.

Our Sunday Socials take place on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month, come rain or shine. The only thing stops us going out is ice or strong winds.

This would have been the fourth year for the Ride to Rye, which is hugely well received. Sadly, due to COVID 19, the tour is not going ahead this year. Hopefully, we’ll be back on track soon, and planning our event for 2021.

If you’d like us to reserve you a spot, click here, then hit the Yes button under RSVP TO EVENT.

Overnighting in a friendly hotel, as well as all the rest and refreshment stops along the way, provide the majority of participants with the perfect introduction to tour cycling. Our first stop, which is the legendary Frankies Farmshop, is now a regular stop for many of our members.

The route takes us through the villages of Kent and across the marshes to Rye. The 70 mile journey is expected to take around 7½ hours, including stops, which will give us plenty of time to enjoy the evening in Rye.

In our third year, we moved from The River Haven hotel in Rye, just down the road to The Lodge at Winchelsea, as they could no longer accommodate us. But the friendly staff and infinitely more suitable accommodation have proved worthy of the extra couple of miles, and one very steep hill.

After a good night’s rest, at The Lodge, and a leisurely breakfast, we begin the slightly shorter journey home. We’ll stop en-route for Sunday Lunch, and aim to arrive back at West Malling by before five o’clock on Sunday evening.
