We are a group of more than thirty members who cycle “for fun”. We are a very friendly bunch and most of all we enjoy the social side of the sport. Each ride will always include a refreshment stop & often we will lunch at a suitable venue on the route.

Rides are offered over various distances (usually between 10 & 30 miles) from different starting points. Hills can be enjoyed either in the saddle or by walking and the average speed that we travel at is often below 10mph.  Our bikes vary considerably and many members now use electrical-assist bicycles. Sometimes we will travel to the starting point of the ride using either train or car (with cycle carriers).

We use a mobile phone app called “Spond” to organise our rides. A ride leader will propose a ride giving details of the meeting place, route, mileage, difficulty & refreshment stop(s) – amongst other matters. Members are then free to either “accept” or “decline” the ride on Spond and the ride leader will be able to see who is attending. Any new members will be set up with Spond on their mobile phone and shown how to use it (it is very easy to accept or decline a ride).

As well as the regular standard ride’s we also try and get away for a few days twice a year in Spring (May) and Autumn (Sept). Recent venues have been; The New Forest, Isle of Wight, Tenterden in Kent, Swansea & Saxmundham in Suffolk. Usually between 15 &20 members of the group will attend these holidays.

If you decide to join us then we hope we can demonstrate to you that third-age cycling isn’t a pain, it’s FUN.
