Regular Club Meet-ups
Sunday Run
Ayr Roads CC has a weekly Sunday Run leaving Beresford Terrace, Ayr, at 0930am, all year round.
The run is approximately 3 to 5 hours in duration and can cover anything from 50 to 100 miles and features a cafe stop. The club run is a social affair and the pace rarely exceeds 15mph average, but often includes a wee ‘habble’ at some point en route.
The Sunday run is the best place to meet up with the club and test your legs. If you are nervous about your fitness, fear not. Plan on joining us for the first hour and gradually build up distance as you go.
Please note, helmets are mandatory and riders should carry a trailside repair kit, their ICE number and clothing appropriate for the weather.
