The Tandem Club Suffolk Section.

We aim to usually hold a ride on the first Sunday in each month. The starting point is chosen by the ride leader, as is the venue for 11's and lunch. Starting time is normally 9-45 A.M. and the distance covered between 25 and 35 miles, sometimes a bit longer in summer to include a stop for afternoon tea.

 We try to vary the starting point for our runs so as to provide an opportunity to enjoy a ride with the group no matter what part of the County you live in.
In the past we have had runs starting from   Woodbridge,  Halesworth,  Stowmarket,  Hadleigh,  Ipswich,  Needham Market,  and Colchester   amongst others.

If any member would like to suggest a venue for a run, or would like to lead a ride, then please contact Ken and Margaret your Regional Officers,  at You have to type this into your e-mail program yourself
Please let the run leader know in advance if you will be coming on the run, and whether you intend joining the run at the start,  or joining us en-route.
Just in case circumstances dictate that the venue or route has to be changed during the course of the ride
 
Contact Leaders for further details
