women’s rides
In addition to weekly regular club rides, we run frequent women only rides. These rides normally last two or three hours at a relaxed pace with regular stops and are open to both current women members as well as newcomers to the club. We warmly welcome all women who are new to cycling. Get a taste of what group riding is like while exploring some new roads on two wheels in a relaxed and safe environment.
