We organise a monthly guided bike ride for people who want to get to know the local low traffic routes. We meet on the last Saturday of the month at 10.30am outside the Mal Maison hotel. The route is usually advertised on our blog a couple of weeks beforehand. The rides are free, there is no need to book, and although you must bring a helmet with you, you do not need to wear lycra! Most rides are less than 10 miles long in total.
Children under 16 are also welcome, but they must be accompanied by adult.
