№ 01 · The pact

Drop nobody. Ever.

We started in 2026 with four people, and no idea what we were doing, with one rule we still keep: nobody rides alone. The fast riders loop back. The hills wait. The cafe doesn't open until everyone's there.

That's the whole pitch. Show up. Bring the enthusiasm. We'll handle the rest — the route, the regroups, the photo at the top of climbs that hurt enough to deserve one.

№ 02 · The cafe

Every ride or run should end in coffee or beer.

Wanted · Open call

A Standish cafe
to call home base.

We're after a local spot in Standish to start and finish every ride and run from — a kick-off, a post-loop coffee, the place the group keeps coming back to. Outdoor seating, or somewhere safe to lean up to 12 bikes, is the only must-have.

WhereStandish or just around it — outdoor seating, or space for up to 12 bikes.
WhenClub rides Friday from 6pm & Sundays at varying times. Run sessions to follow.
What you getA regular thirsty crew, a feature on this site, and a slot on the next club kit (cycling kit just closed — next window soon).
