We are a friendly bunch of cycling enthusiasts that mainly participate in group rides on road bikes. We may go off-road in the winter when its icy, and during some of our Saturday Specials. You should be able to find out all you need by visiting our website.
Group Riding
In order to make rides enjoyable for all, we require riders to be able to ride the required distance and maintain the appropriate pace. There is normally a range of groups, so please see Our Rides page for more information.
If you are not sure about your ability, a good place to start is on Thursday evenings, during the warmer months, on our Parson’s Peddler rides, where we cater for riders of different levels of experience and ability.
Group riding requires concentration, cooperation and communication. Once registered, you will receive our club handbook, please familiarise yourself with Part 2 on group riding.
Insurance
We are affiliated with British Cycling which provides third-party liability insurance for club officials and ride leaders.
You are strongly advised to get your own third-part liability insurance. A good reason to join British Cycling, it includes insurance - click here for information on their introductory discount and other member benefits. Membership of Cycling UK also includes third-party liability insurance.
Clothing
Members are entitled to a £20 subsidy towards the purchase of a club jersey, then another £20 towards one other item of club clothing.
