Social mountain / off-road rides will be running through the winter at various sites, see the mountain bike page for full details.

Road Cycling - whether you are new to cycling, returning after an absence or just looking to improve your fitness, what better place to start than with our weekly Sunday morning social / training rides. See our section on leisure cycling for full details.
