The South Lakes u3a cycling groups offer regular rides in and around the South Lakes and Eden, North Lancashire and Western Dales with many rides starting in Kendal.
Rides are of varying length and challenge as described below, exploring the quieter roads and lanes of our area.
We offer ‘Social Cycling’; enjoyable, inclusive and safe cycling, with time for chat and refreshment stops. Our members ride a variety of bikes (hybrid, electric, road, gravel)
Our two Groups offer weekly rides from April to October (see below). All rides are led by experienced cyclists and new members are welcome.
We can offer help and advice on any aspect of cycling - if that is what you need, do ask.
