For over two decades, Tuesday evenings in Derby have been synonymous with the Derby Chain Gang. This informal yet established group provides a regular opportunity for cyclists to enjoy a brisk ride through the Derbyshire countryside. Departing from Starbucks DE21 5DA, the route heads north, navigating through Ripley, Ambergate, and Belper, before concluding near Allestree at the A6 / Ford Lane junction.
The Chain Gang's core activity is its weekly through-and-off paceline ride. This provides a challenging yet sociable experience for participants. Touring is also a key element of the club’s offering. During the winter months, mudguards are essential, demonstrating a commitment to all-weather riding. The emphasis is on group riding, with the understanding that riders must obey the rules of the road and regroup if splits occur at lights or junctions.
As an unaffiliated group, Derby Chain Gang welcomes riders of all abilities and backgrounds. This open-door policy fosters a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.
For cyclists seeking a regular, challenging, and sociable ride in the Derby area, the Derby Chain Gang offers a welcoming environment. New riders are encouraged to join the Tuesday evening ride and experience the camaraderie for themselves.
