Sample Road Routes

These are some sample routes for Riders to use for then own self-guided rides or for Ride Leaders to use in the lead up to gaining sufficient experience and inspiration to plan their own.

Using one of these, along with the downloadable .gpx files should give a new Ride Leader a fast start into leading their own rides both at Short level and Intermediate Level…. and for Leaders making a start on Tuesday Rides

 

Sunday Routes have been divided into Short and Intermediate, and have been grouped into rides heading off into different areas around Coventry. Tuesday rides have been grouped into the general part of our Region.

For New Riders or those with only limited experience you might like to try our ‘Step-up’ routes in the ‘Start Cycling with Us’ section of the website.
