This summer the club is launching new weekly Sunday Leisure Rides. These are for anybody new to cycling, or who just prefers a more relaxed pace. The rides are circular, 18 to 20 miles long and at about 8 to 10 mph with a break for tea and cake halfway!

Cycling in a group is a much safer way to ride a bike and is great way to keep fit, as well as to meet new people and enjoy the local countryside. It can also have great health benefits including reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity and is very good for our mental health.

For more experienced riders the club has have three other groups:

Easy Pace - 30 miles at 10 to 11 mph,

Step Up - 35 to 45 miles at 12 to 14 mph

Moderate Ride - 45+ miles at 14+ mph.

Rides typically start from the Watermead Inn, Aylesbury, Weston Turville shops or the Bugle Horn, Stone and normally at 9:30 a.m.

Aylesbury Cycling UK welcomes anybody over 18 years. All you need is a serviceable bike, a spare inner tube, a drink and suitable clothes. Helmets are recommended, but not compulsory. We suggest that new riders try the Leisure Ride first. Rides only go at at a pace everyone is comfortable with so just choose the ride that best suits you!

Also every second Wednesday of the month is the club social night at the Kings Head Aylesbury from 7:30 a.m. A chance to meet existing members and find our more about the club.
