We have an active archive of routes that can be grown either via an email to the <a href=\"mailto:webmaster@congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\">webmaster<\/a> or&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:ridesecretary@congletoncyclingclub.org.uk\">ridesecretary<\/a> or some ride leaders may directly access the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We now have over 200 routes. To see a full list <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/routes\/all\/AtoZ\/1?MappedBy=373459&amp;Units=km\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently the club does not have a premium (paid for) account so some plotaroute facilities are not available. Specifically access to OS mapping; some limits on route size in terms of route points and it isn&#8217;t ad free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of our routes are public which means they can be accessed by anyone. You do not need a plotaroute account to search for or access a route and you can download the route in one of several formats (GPX, KML, TCX and FIT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Routes are named in a pattern as follows:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A pair of characters specifying the route type<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A space character<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CCC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A space character<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The destination or other text. Usually this will be a lunchpoint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The routes types are as follows:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SS &#8211; a shorter Saturday club ride. Usually starting from the Unicorn and under 65k.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MM &#8211; a longer Saturday club ride. Usually starting from the Unicorn and between 65 and 80k.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LL &#8211; a Sunday club ride. Usually starting from the Rugby Club and probably in excess of 80k.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HH &#8211; hilly. The length will be of less significance. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RR &#8211; a club reliability ride<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AA &#8211; an audax route<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GG &#8211; a gravel or mainly offroad route<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OO &#8211; other<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Saturday ride may be called something like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/route\/1530974\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SS CCC GrasslandsLowerPeover<\/a> and a Sunday one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/route\/1536163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LL CCC LockgateCafeBeeston<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an example to look for all the Sunday rides currently on plotaroute go to the home page and enter &#8220;LL CCC&#8221; (or &#8220;ll ccc&#8221; ) in the search box. (It is possible that routes not created by the Club can be found as other may coincidentally use this pattern).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, for a full list of routes in specific categories use these pre-defined searches:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/routes\/all\/AtoZ\/1?MappedBy=373459&amp;RouteName=SS+CCC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saturday Shorter Rides<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/routes\/all\/AtoZ\/1?MappedBy=373459&amp;RouteName=MM+CCC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saturday Longer Rides<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/routes\/all\/AtoZ\/1?MappedBy=373459&amp;RouteName=LL+CCC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sunday Rides<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/routes\/all\/AtoZ\/1?MappedBy=373459&amp;RouteName=HH+CCC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hilly Rides<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of these routes can be accessed via a map of destinations shown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/edit?mid=1jBAkhQCc9Uqqg-rYUDxJw0i4NpBZJMg&amp;ll=53.13088466031032%2C-2.5306290257812503&amp;z=10\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/viewer?mid=18e1gVTCAX2qEKWPe0rW1O_iv4y0duR-M&amp;ll=53.131838582156846%2C-2.5306290257812503&amp;z=9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.
