Cycle Routes

The map pages and routes

All of our routes are held on the Ride with GPS site below:

https://ridewithgps.com/users/1338070/

Please note that although the majority of the routes have actually been ridden by Fleet Cycling, road conditions may be very different on the day and Fleet Cycling accepts no liability, e.g., for errors or because of road conditions. Routes are provided as guidance only. Be wary of changing road conditions and closures, especially during the winter months.

Ride leaders may post a different GPX/TCX/FIT file or link to Ride With GPS of their proposed route before each ride on the Calendar pages or our Facebook page. Posts on that page are also visible shortly afterwards on the Home page of the Fleet Cycling website, and the Home > Upcoming Events page. New riders may wish to familiarise themselves with the route before the ride. If you have issues with the ride details, please contact the ride leader.

Please note that posts on the closed Fleet Cycling Facebook Group are not visible here on this site, due to Facebook restrictions. Also our RWGPS account public page only shows the most recent routes to users that aren't registered on the RWGPS website.

Star Classification - no longer used

Against a ride you may see a star classification. These were intended to indicate the difficulty and speed of the ride, but are no longer used. To judge the difficulty, you should consider the distance and the amount of climbing in the elevation graphs on the RWGPS website.
