We arrange rides throughout the year – typically two per month and alternating between Saturdays and Sundays. Details should be posted one week beforehand. Our program aims to please both leisure riders and those with more challenging needs. Each ride is categorised as either:

SHORT/SOCIAL easy rides on roads or cycle paths at a relaxed pace. Tea & Cake stop assured!
ON-ROAD These rides typically take 3-4hours with a lunch break included, pace tailored to attendees, typically 20-30 miles, although some longer ones maybe planned during the summer. Lunch stop included.
OFF-ROAD Neil has kindly agreed to lead some off-road rides in 2010, dates TBC.

The Cycling Group also welcomes members to organise their own events and can assist in promoting these via the website and email, contact the reps below for assistance.

BLAGSS at Pride

BLAGSS marched in the parade, wearing our brightly coloured BLAGSS T-Shirts. This year's theme was Pride & (No) Prejudice, so we were be holding masks of well known lesbian and gay athletes who are proud of their sexuality, even in what can be a difficult environment.

We were also in Preston Park, where anyone could find out more about BLAGSS, join or renew their membership and buy a BLAGSS t-shirt, with our traditional Pimms party from 4pm.
