Beccles

Meeting Place: The person leading the ride decides upon the most appropriate starting point.

Group members take turns in leading rides,  including a refreshment stop, to familiar and new routes.

Our Aim

We are a social, not a cycle training, group. We ride for enjoyment along cycle routes and country lanes around Beccles and beyond avoiding main roads whenever possible.

The rides are approximately 20 to 25 miles distance, sometimes longer in good weather. All rides include brief stops for everyone to catch up and a refreshment break either during the ride or back in Beccles.

The average speed is 10mph. The rides, with stops, take around three and a half hours. Actual cycling time is approximately one and half to two hours.

Rides will be cancelled if inclement weather is forecast.

Some of us ride electric bikes, however the pace is no faster than the slowest rider to ensure that no one is left behind
