Join a guided group bike ride
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
British Cycling's Guided Rides are free local rides led by trained volunteer Ride Leaders who know the quiet lanes and the good cafe stops. Someone else handles the route and the navigation, which leaves you free to ride and talk.

Where to go
We opened this link on 7 October 2026 and found it to be what we say. Dates, places and prices are on the official page, where they stay up to date.
Plan this
Pick a day, or a month, and we will set out how to get ready, step by step, with a date and a reason for each. The hard part of a day out is the timing: the right season, tickets and getting there. The plan watches the calendar for you.
