The group meets weekly on Thursdays from mid-March to mid-November. We cycle in various locations, including the Kendal Area, Arnside and Silverdale, the Lune Valley, Trough of Bowland, Lake District National Park, Yorkshire Dales and Eden Valley.

A few winter rides are also offered, weather permitting. We aim to stop at view points and other sites of interest along the routes.

Maximum numbers are 8-10 people per ride and U3A members with good E-Bike experience are welcome to join the group. We aim to run 1:3 rides from Kendal. Rides further afield will require transport to the start and back from the finish.

The group aims to stop for coffee and lunch at local cafes, but occasionally participants will need to bring a packed lunch. Distances cycled are from around 25 to 35 miles with shorter rides at the beginning and end of the cycling season. Ascents vary from around 1000 feet (300m) to 3000feet (900m) depending on the terrain.

We expect all E-bikers to cycle safely and follow the Highway Code. While support for technical issues is willingly offered to participants on rides, individuals are expected to carry spares and be familiar with basic repair tasks
