// Weekly club rides
SRAMcc runs regular rides every week, on the road and off it. Times, meeting points and routes for each ride are posted on Spond and our Facebook page, so please check there before you set out. Unless a ride says otherwise, most start from Five Rivers Leisure Centre, Salisbury.

Is a ride too fast or too far for you?
Tell us
We want every ability to feel welcome on every ride. We know there isn’t a lighter option for the Saturday ride at the moment, and some other rides may not suit everyone either. Leave a quick comment on the ride post or have a word with anyone on the committee. It’s the only way we can put on the rides you’re looking for.
