We organise bike rides on the second and fourth Thursday of each month and usually cycle between 30 and 40 miles. We meet up around 9:30 (depending on the time of year) and stop for coffee and lunch then finish around mid-afternoon.
We use a WhatsApp group to co-ordinate our rides and chat amongst ourselves. The meeting place and details of these longer rides are published by the ride leader before each ride. We limit the number on each ride to 12.
Most rides start from Thornbury but sometimes we transport our bikes to starting points further afield, e.g. Bitton Station for the Bristol-Bath Railway Path or to Tetbury.
Our rides are sociable as well as good for your fitness. We ride at a pace to suit everyone and regularly stop to regroup to ensure no one gets left behind. It's a great way to explore the cycle friendly lanes around Thornbury and beyond.
NEW. We have started meeting every Thursday when there isn't a longer ride. These rides are shorter, morning rides, no more than 20 miles, and more flexible. We choose a cafe in the Thornbury area and meet there for coffee. Depending where you live, we start at different places but plan to all meet up at about 10:30.
Useful information about cycling in general can be found on the Cycling UK web site.
