These relaxed and supportive sessions are ideal for complete beginners. The rides explore a mix of cycle paths, quiet roads, and off-road sections. The mechanics evenings – led by local legend Lou Robinson – are all about keeping your bike running smooth.

There’s no pressure to attend every session – just pick the ones that suit you.
