Any CBC announcements will be posted here.
Many of our ride groups use GPX files to show the intended route for the day - this helps people prepare, as well as enabling those leading to follow the route on a cycle computer (such as a Garmin). We have planned 2-3 sessions explaining how to create, view and follow GPX routes.
The Picnic Ride will be held at Woodgreen Village Hall on Tuesday 23rd July
Our next annual cycling weekend away is planned to take place 6 – 8/9 September 2024 in Cirencester. If you would like to join us please register here.

As you may have gathered, we had to cancel the December Mince Pie Run because of the horrible wet and windy weather. The revised plan is to have a ride with your groups to the Old Farmhouse Tearooms, Burley for a free coffee and mince pie on Tuesday, 2nd January.
Following various surveys amongst our membership, we can now announce the preferred design option and feedback. Also answers to questions raised have been added.
