Four different groups set off for an early ride, followed by a slap-up full English breakfast – making sure the riders got their daily intake of protein and carbs.
Club chairman Stewart Batchelor said: “After a miserable rainy start, the sun came out and the 35 riders enjoyed their eggs and bacon outside on the sunny terrace.
“The Bell Hotel is always a firm favourite for the club as it provides a welcoming finishing point for the Saturday rides and gives the members a good excuse to have a drink and swap stories from the morning rides.”

Setting off from Minster-on-Sea on the Isle of Sheppey at 4.30am, they aim to do a gruelling 205 miles of cycling to arrive in Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset before the sun sets.
In addition to the weekly rides, the club has a packed summer schedule to look forward to, which includes cycling trips to Majorca, Wales and the Cotswolds.
Stewart said: “The club is less than two years old and a lot of the members say they feel they have made lifelong friends since joining.
