Group rides are posted on our Strava club page. You can find the club on Strava here: LEGION CYCLING CLUB Join the club on Strava then scroll to the bottom of the Strava page to see upcoming rides. If you’re attending a ride, please hit the ‘going’ button so we can see how many are attending in advance. This allows us to run multiple groups of different speeds, if needed.
Group rides are posted approximately four weeks in advance. We offer a range of interesting new routes and some old classics. Most Saturday group rides are from 60km to 100km. Legion rides are what many would call, mid paced. They aren’t full on smash ups, neither are they noodling around town. Generally, the rides are a nice easy tempo. When we reach certain significant climbs or race sections, it’s full gas. We always re-group at the top of any significant climb or race section.

Devonport Loop
If you’re familiar with power training and Zwift, a Legion ride would suit anybody with a 2.5w/kg to 4.5w/kg FTP. Essentially, B,C,D on Zwift. If you’re above that, you’ll find the rides too slow and if you’re significantly under 2.5w/kg, you may struggle. You’re obviously welcome to join us either way. We’re also sometimes asked if we have a seperate women's group. We don’t. We have many women riding with Legion. We all ride together.
Please note that Legion group rides are NOT no drop rides. We do everything possible to keep the group together, including stopping to help with punctures and mechanicals. However, if a rider is significantly slower than the main group, they will be left to navigate back themselves. Please be aware of the route, or better yet, download it to your bike computer from the Strava posting. All riders are responsible for their own navigation and safety.

Airport Loop
If you are new to group riding, the Airport Loop and the Devonport Loop are the shortest and easiest rides on the rotation. They feature the lowest elevation gains, so are easier to keep the group together. However, these shorter rides are often ridden faster, with a few racey sections. The best option is, just come along and get amongst it. If you’re brand new, or a seasoned pro, you’re welcome.
See you on a ride.
