Get Back on a Bike

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. It's also sociable and fun.

These weekly, group 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.

You will:

• Build your confidence on a bike
• Develop new skills
• Meet new people
• Enjoy the benefits of being out in nature
• Feel more alive!

Ideally you will have a mountain bike, but a hybrid is also OK on the beginners trails. If you haven't got a bike then you can hire one from Forest Cycle Hire at the Haldon Forest site to get started. As you progress, we can recommend places to buy new or second hand bikes.
