About this Event
Led by Paul Coxon
Paul is an experienced cyclist with a calm, supportive approach. He’s outdoor first aid trained and very knowledgeable when it comes to bikes — from basic maintenance to on-the-go problem solving. You’ll be in safe, capable hands.
These Adventure Geek Cycling Club rides are social, supportive and beginner-friendly — designed for people who want to enjoy cycling without pressure, racing, or feeling out of their depth.
We ride together.
No one gets left behind, and the pace is set to suit the group. Routes are planned with approximate mileage, allowing flexibility depending on the group, conditions, and how everyone is feeling on the day.
☕ Coffee stop included
Where possible, we’ll stop at a café en route — because good conversations and good coffee are part of the adventure.
🚴 Who these rides are for
- Beginners or returning cyclists
- Anyone building confidence
- People who want a relaxed, social ride rather than a training session

This is about enjoyment, fresh air, and friendly company — not speed or Strava stats.
