Scarborough Paragon Club Runs
If you are new to cycling then please try the Sunday runs as a good introduction to road biking.
There are currently two meeting places at 9.30am:
a) Crossgates bus shelter, opposite the Community Centre near the roundabout B1261.
b) Muston, Hunmanby Street bus shelter (opposite The Ship Inn)
Runs vary in length and are usually over 50 miles, with a café stop. The pace is around 13-15 miles per hour, depending on the terrain, weather and riders' ability.
All that is expected, is that riders are fully observant of the Highway Code, self-sufficient in carrying out minor cycle repairs e.g. punctures and have some cash for the cafe stops. A mobile phone would also be useful. Riders won't be abandoned; help will be at hand. If necessary, the group can always split to cater for everyone's commitments or ability. Some riders don't always have time to be out for the full route and turn back early, for example.
For those interested in a mid-week ride, some of the experienced veterans meet at Muston on Wednesdays, weather-permitting, at 9.30am for a steady ride, including a cafe stop.
