Introduction to Group Riding

Cambridge Cycling Club is keen to broaden its reach and offer opportunities for people to get involved and share our love of cycling.

We have been running a series of introductory group rides this summer, the last of which will be on Saturday 13th September.

We meet at Cambridge Central Station Plaza at 10am.  

These rides are aimed at those who are confident riding a road bike and have a good level of general fitness but probably haven’t ridden in a group or organised club setting before. All those age 18 or over are welcome (or age 16 or over if accompanied by a parent/guardian).

Rides will be between 20 and 25 miles with a café stop on route. Speed will be 12-15 mph. Nobody will be left behind. We have four routes planned depending on the wind direction: -

North towards Cottenham and Oakington Garden Centre

South towards Fowlmere and Cafe Amigo

East towards Bottisham and Anglesey Abbey

West towards Bourn and The Stove Cafe

You will need cash or 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. A bottle of water, preferably one that can be stored on the bike.

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.
