Introduction to Group Riding

What? Cambridge Cycling Club is keen to broaden its reach and offer more opportunities for people to get involved and share our love of cycling.   We are delighted to offer a series of four introductory group rides this summer on the second Saturday of each month.

When? Second Saturday of the month from May to August (May 11^th , June 8^th , July 13^th and August 10^th) Start time 10am from Cambridge Station Plaza.

Where?  Cambridge Station Plaza.  

Who? The rides are aimed at people who are confident riding a road bike and have a good level of general fitness but and who probably haven’t ridden in a group or organised club setting before. Anyone and everyone is welcome irrespective of age as long as they are over 18 (or over 16 if accompanied by a parent/guardian).

Length and speed Rides will be approximately 20 miles with an optional café stop. Speed will be 12-15 mph.  Group sizes will be up to 10 and there will be multiple groups if required. Nobody will be left behind.

What to wear – if you have cycling specific clothes then that is great, however these are not required.

What you will need - cash/card for the café. A couple of spare inner tubes, tyre levers and a pump. A mobile just in case of a mechanical that we can't fix.

Interested? Here is the link to sign up for our rides. If you would prefer not to commit, you are welcome to turn up on the day.
