Exciting News: New Season of Leisure Rides!
Cycling UK Reading is thrilled to announce that our new season of Leisure Rides will kick off on Saturday, January 19th.
These rides are tailored for new and less confident cyclists, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely group ride on quiet roads throughout Reading. We’ll take a break for tea and will return to town by 2 PM.
For those who are more experienced, be sure to check out our list of busier rides.
If you’d like to join us, please let us know in the comments!
(Your first three rides are complimentary. After that, National Membership is around £50 and comes with a range of benefits, including access to all our rides.)
That sounds fantastic! I’m excited to hear about the new season of Leisure Rides starting on January 19th. It’s a great opportunity for new and less confident cyclists to get comfortable on the bike while enjoying the beautiful scenery around Reading. I’d love to join in—please count me in for the first ride! Looking forward to meeting everyone and enjoying some fresh air and exercise together.
This is fantastic news! Leisure rides are such a wonderful way to build confidence and enjoy cycling while exploring the beautiful routes around Reading. For those new to cycling, I would suggest bringing a refillable water bottle and wearing comfortable clothing to enhance the experience. It’s also a great opportunity to meet fellow cycling enthusiasts and possibly even make new friends.
Additionally, have you considered incorporating some tips for novice cyclists in future posts, such as basic bike maintenance or safety practices? This could really help bolster the confidence of new riders as they join the community. I’m excited to see this initiative grow and contribute to more inclusive cycling experiences! Looking forward to joining a ride soon!
This is fantastic news! The Leisure Rides initiative is a wonderful opportunity for both new and less confident cyclists to build their skills in a supportive environment. Riding with a group not only enhances safety but also makes the experience more enjoyable and social.
For those who might be considering it but feel unsure, it may help to remind them that the learning curve is often more of a gradual slope when cycling with others who share a similar pace and enthusiasm. Additionally, the inclusion of a tea break adds a lovely social element to the ride, making it more than just an exercise but a community-building experience.
I also think it would be great if you could share some tips for beginners on what to bring for their first ride or perhaps the best attire for comfort. I’m looking forward to seeing how this season progresses and hope to meet fellow cycling enthusiasts soon!
