Base ’n’ Banter is a controlled weekend endurance ride - with a strong community and social focus!

Across every weekend in 2026, we will continue to offer a mix of rides that cover flat, rolling and hilly terrain with the aim of getting in a solid endurance ride, mostly around 2hrs.

This is a chance to enjoy a friendly experienced group club ride with regulars who have no Big Egos. While you build your fitness, there is always plenty of in-ride banter.

What pace to expect?
We will ride the flats around 2.5 - 2.7 w/kg with a focus on keeping everyone together!

The leader will climb at around 3.0 - 3.2 w/kg depending on the length and if needed we will always try and regroup after.

While the leader will do everything to keep everyone together, we can't slow repeatedly so some splits are inevitable.

Our SWEEPERS on this ride, known as our ‘ORANGE ARMY’ (OA), are members of TEAM CLS who are dedicated to helping others. If you have had a drop out or accidentally hit a wrong key, type ‘HELP’ and they will come back and offer you a wheel back to the group.

Note: While we always try to ensure this ride is led by one of our beacons there may be some weeks where this is not possible. The ride always has regulars that will ride to the advertised pace!
