Saturday or Sunday rides are more of a casual affair and are often organised around the ride leader's personal commitments, although any member is encouraged to step forward to organise something.  Maps and routes are always available, just ask.  Interested ladies are informed of all weekend rides via text, phone or email, giving as much notice as possible.  Options are always available on these rides for ladies to do as little or as much as they wish, with various start and drop off points along the way.   Just drive out to your pre-arranged meeting place, ride with us to lunch and we will return you to your car before continuing our journey home.  The pace can be adjusted throughout the day to accommodate all abilities and it is suggested that those wishing to participate in a full day's ride should not have time restrictions.

Weekend rides give the opportunity to venture far and wide and it is not uncommon for the whole group to drive out to explore new ground.  Car sharing is generally encouraged where possible.

Newcomers are very welcome on most weekend rides, except those intended as a challenge (see challenge rides) and Hopwood Ladies will always do their best to be accommodating.
