Forthcoming Events of the Northern Peak and South Pennine Group

 

Our rides are open to cyclists of all abilities, all ages and on all types of cycle (perhaps with the exception of lightweight racers, we do go off road). They are easy paced, non-competitive social rides usually calling at a cafe or two, but some participants bring a packed lunch. If you are a non-member you are welcome to join us for two or three rides, check us out, and then hopefully become a member (It is only £12.00 per year!). Just turn up on the day or for further information ring John on 01457-852090
