Upcoming events.
Take a look at our rides below, we have all sorts going on.
Our rides are social rides and not guided rides, they are organised by club members, and you are responsible for yourself.
We go out in all weathers but on the odd occasion we may need to cancel rides at short notice, check here for any updates before the ride.
Ride sign ups are the bottom of each event. If you have signed up but can no longer come on a ride, please let us know either by email or social media and we’ll pass that on to the ride leader.
Want to know a bit about who’s organising each ride? Check out our ride coordinator bios! These should give you an idea of what to expect on their rides.
Before joining a ride please familarise yourself with our ride etiquette. This is to keep everyone safe out on the roads and trails.
If you can’t make any of our upcoming rides, check out our RidewithGPS route library for some inspiration for your next ride.
Please note that we often take pictures on our rides to share here on the website or on the club’s social media pages. Please let the ride leader know if you are uncomfortable with this before the ride.
When you sign up for a ride your details will be visible to our ride leaders and will be deleted shortly after the ride. It will only be used to contact you about that specific ride or in case of an emergency on the ride.
