Group of cyclists

The group enables people with an electronic bike to cycle safely in South Lakeland and the nearby areas.

Rides are scheduled around the South Lakes area and at least two each month commence at Kendal Leisure Centre. The others sometimes requiring bike transport from Kendal to start points.

Rides have a duration of between 20-35 miles and generally untaxing terrain. Generally, rides get a little longer as the season progresses.

Weekly routes and leaders schedule around a week in advance and a party of 8-10 cyclists is generally our maximum, though two groups might go out if there are willing leaders.

Most rides commence around 10.00 a.m. and conclude by mid-afternoon.

Rides are open to all u3a members but we only encourage cyclists with good ebike experience and expect all of our members to cycle safely in groups.

Our intent is leisure cycling with stops for viewpoints of interest, refreshments and natural breaks.

Whilst support for cyclists who encounter technical difficulties with bikes is willingly offered, participants are expected to carry spares and be familiar with basic repair tasks.
