Cycling gets you outdoors into the fresh air, where there are fabulous views to nourish you. It is a great way to get your body moving, and to improve your physical fitness.
More importantly it's also great fun and very sociable.
These rides are designed as a gentle reintroduction to cycling for those who haven't been on a bike for years. They take place on purpose built, graded tracks at Haldon forest, so there’s no need to worry about traffic. There’s a café on site if you fancy a coffee or tea after the ride.
Your leader is Cathy Debenham, a cycling enthusiast and a qualified British Cycling Mountain Bike Leader.
If you haven't got a bike then you can get started by hiring one from Forest Cycle Hire at the Haldon Forest site. Ideally you will have a mountain bike, but a hybrid is OK on the beginners trails.
