Groupings
Cyclists of similar ability ride together, with groups capped at 14 riders. Riders must choose appropriate groups matching their fitness on the day — to avoid faster riders being slowed down or slower riders struggling to hold the wheel.
Organizing Rides
How we group, partner up, and ride safely — plus the full weekly schedule and the No Helmet, No Ride policy that keeps everyone safe.
The "Partner" System
Each rider must have a designated partner at ride start. Partners are responsible for ensuring their companion isn't left behind, with the peloton riding in pairs except when obstacles force single-file formation.
Bailing Out
Riders departing early should notify the ride captain — to prevent unnecessary search efforts and keep the group's focus on the road.
Weekly Schedule
Six rides a week. Pick your start time.
Our official Saturday club ride is the main event; the rest range from official to "you're on your own out there" unofficial.
Saturday Club Ride
The main event — departs at 6:30am from the Club House in Ikoyi. A ride captain is appointed daily to manage pace and route.
Tuesday/Thursday Night Ride (TNR)
Departs 8:30pm. Unofficial status means cyclists provide their own support. Lights are mandatory.
Silly Hour Crew
Pre-dawn riding three times a week. Wake up before everyone else, log the miles, then head to work.
Sunday Sunday Medicine (SSM)
Unofficial endurance ride for those chasing distance. Starts at 5:15am — and lives up to the name.
Full Ground Taya
Adventure rides on fat or mountain bikes, exploring the outskirts of Lagos via beaches and forest terrain. Full-day Sunday events.
Alternate Rides
Bi-monthly Saturday rides using off-road bikes on lesser-traveled routes.
