- continue to wear face coverings when in crowded or enclosed areas
- maintain good hand hygiene, covering mouths/noses when coughing or sneezing, and remember to bring your own hand sanitiser or wipes on rides
- people wishing to participate in Sunday rides MUST continue to register IN ADVANCE by 9pm on the Friday evening prior to the ride using the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/vXhVKkFciNZBbo6d9
- PLEASE ensure you have read and understood the additional DPCC Covid19 rules here: http://www.didcotphoenix.co.uk/dpcc-club-runs/
*we will review this restriction regularly as we gain experience organising group rides under this new format, and as HM Government guidance changes
DPCC run regular Sunday Club Runs throughout the year in all but the most extreme weather.
Club runs are a great way to start to learn group riding skills, extend your endurance and offer a chance to chat about all things cycling.
Club runs are typically three to four hours and in that time can cover 50-60 miles and include a cafe stop for refuelling (cake!).
