Group rides are one of the best reasons for joining a cycling club. You get to meet new people, learn new routes, test your fitness and learn how to ride safely in a group.
Any club member can put up rides on the rides list at any time, which are often led from Didsbury / Stockport. However, meeting points can vary due to the wide spread of members throughout Manchester.

Weekend Rides
Weekend rides are often added ad hoc and sometimes last minute. Keep an eye on the rides list!
Can Non-Members Join Rides?
Yes! If you are interested in joining the club and want to try one of our rides before committing, you are welcome to do so. You can join up to 3 rides as a non-member, after which we would normally expect you to join the club if you want to continue coming out regularly.
Before attending your first club ride please get in touch by email or Discord, so that we know to expect you, and can let you know what to expect from the ride.
Please also check out the guide to riding safely in a group below before coming along!
Don’t see any rides?
Don’t see any rides on the Rides List? We use Discord as our clubs chat platform and sometimes rides get added there last minute. Feel free to join our Discord group to find out more about what we are doing! We have an enquiries channel there specifically for new people to ask questions.
If you are club member and see no rides listed, you can also lead one yourself and add it to the Rides List! We are a member led club and we rely on our members volunteering to lead rides and help out at our events to keep things active.
