June Cycling Series

The routes will be on quiet country roads in the main, adding in a few gentle slopes to begin with and a couple of short slightly hillier sections as we progress. Nothing steep or overly challenging is planned and the routes will be achievable for riders and encourage them to ‘stretch themselves’ ever so slightly over the weeks. The focus will be on enjoyment, group riding, making friends, and admiring the countryside.

Each week, we will cycle a more or less circular route which will be progressive in nature. Each ride will incrementally add a little more elevation and distance each week to build a little cycling strength and stamina. The starting distance will be around 10 miles.

Routes will be on quiet country roads and occasionally we will ride paths or trails.

No stops are planned other than to allow riders to have a drink, eat their own snacks, chat, admire the views and take photos.

Cycling helmets are strongly recommended as are cycling glasses to prevent insects and other debris getting into your eyes. Please ensure that you have any tools that are specific for your bike, a spare inner tube to fit your tyres and a pump to fit your tyre valves. The temperature can drop quickly in the evening so please have layers and something warm to pop on in case we need to stop. Please come prepared for all weather. Your bike should be in good working order and your tyres pumped up before you arrive at the campus. Please bring any snacks you need and a drink.

We never leave anyone behind
