A Do-It-Yourself ride with a social element.
Start from wherever you like, cycle to a designated cafe/restaurant/garden centre/whatever, arrive around the designated time, meet up with other local Cycling UK members, put the world to rights over a coffee then head for home - perhaps with company for some of the way.

An evening where club members can have direct access to our Ride Co-ordinators to either volunteer to lead a ride or to get info. on how to lead/prepare for a ride, including such items as route planning and considerations, food stops, leader's responsibilities, etc.

Longer rides are usually 31 - 60 miles long and will include differing gradients/ hills.
May also include varied terrain.
Average speed of 10-12 mph though could be slower depending on participants, additional time for food stops and regrouping.
Check out the event specific information for more detail of the route, food stops, etc.

Medium rides are usually 20- 30 miles long and may include sections of gradients/ hills.
Average speed 8-10mph.
e.g. A 25 mile ride involves approx. 2.5 to 3 hours of cycling with additional time for food stops and regrouping.
Check out the event specific information for more detail of the route, food stops, etc.

A continuous ride of approx. 20 miles.
No stops other than for re-grouping.
The aim is to take no more than 2 hours for the ride, so you should be able to average 10mph non-stop for 2 hours if you want to participate in these rides.
The rides will start at/near a cafe/tearoom for an optional lunch at the end of the ride - or you could decide to go straight home - your choice.

Public rides are, unsurprisingly, open to the general public.
Most of these rides are free but a few are pay to enter.
Any fees will be outlined in the individual ride descriptions.
These rides are registered as Public rides with Cycling UK and therefore have special insurance to cover those who are not Cycling UK members.
Some events have age restrictions, details of which can be found here

Our basic "Roadside Repairs" workshop covers how to make running repairs to the most common issues encountered on a bike ride.
These are "get you home" type repairs.
You will be given advice on which tools you should carry on a ride to do the basic repairs and will perform some of the repairs on your own bike.
Issues covered will include:-
Puncture repairs
Minor brake and gear adjustments
Basic Maintenance
Anyone attending aged under 16 MUST be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the workshop.
You should bring your own bike, any tools you would normally carry on a bike ride, a spare inner tube, a dust sheet big enough to sit your bike on and wear clothes which you don't mind getting dirty!
Read the description for each workshop for additional detail.

Our short rides cover anything from 10 - 20 miles in length.

Social events do not normally involve cycling but that is not a given !
They are mainly get-togethers for the club members which usually involve food...

Special rides can be anything from long, fast rides to short, themed rides to mainly off-road rides.

Starter rides cover all rides under 10 miles.

They are normally run along cycle paths/routes and minor roads so are generally pretty flat in profile.
