Special or novelty rides are organised throughout the summer riding season to provide something different. Rides typically explore areas further afield or include a different riding experience. Special rides tend to be very popular so members are advised to register their interest online as soon as possible after registration opens. Entry to rides is normally closed when numbers reach 12 riders.
Special Ride – September 17th 2026
There will be a Special Ride on September 17th.
It will start and finish in Chirk, but, as this is the last time this year that
we will start from Chirk, we want to give it a bit of a different feel –
‘special’.
Clive has produced routes for the ‘Mod’ and ‘Brisk’ groups
which are 36 and 45 miles respectively in length. Both will include some roads
that you may be familiar with, but some which will be new to you.
Clive will lead the Brisk group, so would someone like to “volunteer”
to lead the Mod group? If so please contact Clive.
As part of the ‘different
feel’, the starting point will be Caffi Wylfa which is on Castle Road in Chirk,
meeting there at 10.00 for a 10.30 start. There is limited parking available at
the café so suggest you park in the usual place in Chirk and ride the short
distance to Caffi Wylfa.
Lunch will be in Whittington at either The Castle café or
the Old Boot Inn, depending on riders’ preferences.
The routes can be found using the links below.
Please let Clive know as soon as possible and in any event
by September 14th if you plan to take part in either ride.
