The Hayfield Hub website is run by local mountain bikers.
It is primarily an online cycling forum which is intended to provide a resource for cyclists to arrange rides with others, or
just to share any cycling related information.
The weekly Wednesday night club rides are usually about 2-3 hours long. We meet in The Royal car-park at 7.30pm – come along and join us, you
will be very welcome! Route choices are either discussed on the forum beforehand or at the start of the ride. The route choices are made
with consideration of the weather, the number of riders out, and their fitness levels. The overall pace is dictated by the slowest
(be that up-hill or down!) with faster riders waiting for regular head-counts. If there are enough riders, there may be two groups
(a faster, longer route or a shorter, slower one) depending on the requests of who’s out.
These rides are social rides that always end at the pub (with many choosing to go inside to rehydrate)!
The two basic 'rules':
1) 10 minute rule.
We have a ‘10 minute rule' of waiting for riders who are running late, but need to leave promptly as it is not fair on every one else. So make
sure you and your equipment are ready in good time.
2) Getting a gate.
The first rider to a gate: 'gets the gate', holds it open for everyone else, counts them through, and then re-joins the group again at the back.
It is free to ride with Hayfield Hub; there are no joining fees or subs; and everyone (over 18) is welcome.
But please note: Hayfield Hub is a non-profit organisation and is run on a very small budget. Therefore, Hayfield Hub has no
insurance and all riders do so at their own risk.
If you ride with Hayfield Hub, you take sole responsibility for yourself, your equipment and your actions. The organisers cannot be held liable
for any injury, loss or damage. You need to ride within your own ability, and ensure that your equipment is appropriate. You will also need to
obey the rules of the Highway Code and be respectful to the countryside and others.
Hayfield Hub also organises events: these range from 1 km hill-climb time-trials to 12 hour endurance epics. Please see our
Events page for more details.
So, come and join us for a technical, sociable, safe and fun ride in the dark!
