We have organised a varied programme of bike rides to suit all abilities, not only the enthusiast but also those who would like to gain confidence on shorter local rides. There will usually be a refreshment stop providing not only a break from cycling but also chance to meet other people in the group. See the Events Page for details so far . . . . .

Due to overwhelming demand, we have organised more Cycle maintenance courses!
