At what pace are the rides?
Speed bands range from Group A (35+ kph) down to Group E (15-20 kph steady pace). New riders who are unsure of their capabilities are typically advised to join either Group D or E. Sprints can exceed 40 kph.

An initiative of the club to encourage non-members to participate in cycling — usually at a gentle pace over a short distance, terminating at a coffee place for socialising. A great way to try the Cycology vibe before applying for membership.
