TUESDAY MORNING SOCIAL RIDE

The Cycling Group meets every Tuesday at the Memorial Pavilion in Wyndham Park weather permitting.

Summer: 1st May - 30th September start time is 9.00am.

Winter: 1st October - 30th April we start at 9.30am.

We decide the route and distance to be covered on the day, usually around 3 hours including a stop for refreshments and an opportunity to chat and get to know other group members.

The group consists of non-electric and e-bikers, beginners and experienced cyclists. It's not a race, just a nice social ride to local locations.

We welcome new members. If you are interested in joining this group please contact the Group Co-ordinator.

Members are responsible for their personal safety and the safety of other group members and members of the public and the HighwayCode must be adhered to.

Enjoying our outings.

New members are always welcome.

JANE’S CYCLING EXPERIENCE

Before starting the group I struggled to cycle a mile around the block. I gradually increased this to around 12 miles before having the confidence to join a cycling group. The first ride to Woody’s (Ancaster) and home via Hough on the Hill was a challenge but I am now comfortably riding between 20 to 30 miles, and enjoying it.

The lovely thing about this group is that you can ride your own ride, a distance and pace that suits you. Members can set off with the main group and turn back early or those that want an even longer ride often take off after the coffee stop to do an extra 10 or even 20 miles.

You do it your way at your pace and everyone is always willing to support fellow cyclists and new members by adjusting rides to an easier shorter route if required on the day.
