If you have a bike but haven't ridden for some time this may be the ride for you. These introductory rides are aimed at those new or returning to cycling who may be lacking in confidence. E bike riders are welcome. The route will vary according to participants experience but will involve a mix of main road and residential roads in and around Torpoint. We will ride for approx 45 minutes to an hour and the pace will be very steady. An appropriate coffee stop can be built in so that we can discuss future rides.

These rides are limited to 4 people at this point so that everyone is able to feel safe and comfortable throughout the ride. As rider confidence builds it is hoped the ride series will be extended and will increase in distance and/or venture across the water on the Torpoint Ferry. Contact ride leader if you have further questions.

Please ensure you have a bike in good working order, you should wear suitable clothing and footwear and should also bring a drink with you. During the winter months it is advisable to have working lights on your bike to improve your visibility. You must wear a helmet.

Routes will vary dependent on riders and as confidence develops. Beginning with minimal junctions and turns and moving on to negotiate roundabouts and busier junctions and roads.

We will be riding on public roads around the Torpoint area as there are no off road trails. All bikes are suitable but hybrids and road bikes are preferable. E bikes are welcome.

We will build in a refreshment stop.

Please ensure your bike is in safe working order with efficient brakes. Spare inner tubes should be carried. Appropriate clothing and helmets must be worn. Please bring money for refreshments.

We especially welcome newbies!
