Easy Riders Cycling Group 1

Status:Active, open to new members
Coordinator:
When: Fortnightly mornings 10:00 AM-12:00 PM
To accommodate group members who have regular 'other' meetings during the month we have decided to switch the bi weekly meet between 2 different days.
Venue: Variable
Cost: Some outings will involve tea drinking and cake eating which will require each member to fund their own appetite.

Hello and welcome to the u3a cycling page.

We are a cycling group for all agilities, meeting twice a month to have fun cycling the local areas for about 2 hours.

Our aim is to cycle off of the main highways on cycle tracks. However, getting to these pleasant places may involve some cycling on roads or the use of a car to deliver one's bicycle.

We are a new group and are finding our foot pegs as to what best works for everyone.

Future monthly meeting will be:-

Every second Tuesday each month at 10am

Every fourth Monday each month at 10am

Although a little confusing it was agreed that alternating the twice monthly meets to a different day would facilitate more members due to other monthly commitments elsewhere! This way you can at least join one a month hopefully.

Random other outings will be planned once the group forms and we get into the swing of things ... lycra is not mandatory.

Happy cycling

Regards

Peter Watts

There may be the classic Grumpy old man face in some of these photos but I can confirm we were all smiling on the inside.

Some very excellent rides have been organised by the group leader Peter Watts supporting riders of all abilities to get out and about again on 2 wheels.
