Social Cycling
The rides we do are varied and normally start from the Arc Café in Poole Park. We prefer to avoid main roads and cycle on quieter lanes, dedicated cycle paths and well maintained bridle ways. We cycle for pleasure, not endurance, though of course, we do get the benefit of a gentle workout. We like interesting scenery and coastal views, avoiding busy roads as much as possible. We also consider socialising and companionship as important as the exercise, rides are typically 10 to 16 miles and normally last for up to 2.5 hours including one refreshment stop en-route.
We ride on the 4th Friday afternoon of every month, starting at 2pm (BST) in the summer months and 1pm in the winter months. As e-bikes are becoming increasingly popular they are very welcome. A medium pace is chosen to keep the group together. The group always has a leader and a back marker, we won’t leave anyone behind.
New members are always welcome, all you need is a bike (a spare inner tube is useful too).
