About this Event

Give your cycling skills a Spring boost!

Our free group led cycle rides are fun, friendly and guided by qualified cycling instructors, helping you build confidence while riding on real local routes.

Whether you’re looking to swap the school drive, try a more active commute, or enjoy lower cost days out with the kids, these relaxed rides are a great way to get you cycling more confidently in time for summer.

The rides are short, sociable and designed to fit into busy family schedules, with a steady pace suitable for all abilities – including beginners and nervous riders.

You’ll ride as part of a supportive group, covering short distances along quiet roads and low‑traffic routes, with instructors on hand to guide the ride, offer reassurance and share practical tips along the way.

These led rides are all about building confidence, enjoying cycling and getting comfortable riding on local streets in a safe, friendly environment.

Book your place for happier, safer riding on the Cheltenham–Gloucester cycle spine!
