Cockermouth Easy B2B (Back 2 Basics) Guided Ride

Finding it hard to get off that couch and onto your bike?
Come and join us for one of our Easy Back 2 Basics Guided rides.
These are a series of Saturday morning beginner rides especially for those new to cycling.
Why not come along & pick up some tips & new skills while meeting a friendly bunch of like-minded people.
Our ride will start at Cockermouth High School where there is limited parking during term time.
All new comers are very welcome, this also includes e-bike riders with a fully charged battery.

These beginner's rides are for people interested in doing more leisure cycling & is led by an experienced British Cycling trained coach, so if you have any questions or concerns about attending, need any advice or just some help starting or getting back into that saddle for this ride just message the Lead rider on the riders' tab below.

We will be travelling along quite country back roads and cycle ways out from Cockermouth so be prepared for some managed uphill climbs. But as part of a Back 2 Basics Guided ride we are always "willing to wait" if you felt daunted by that hill and needed to walk up instead :)

On the up side we always include an outdoor socially distanced drinks & snack break with a great view.

We travel at the slowest rider's speed with support and encouragement, so no one is ever left behind. This is to enhances your enjoyment of leisurely cycling within the safety of our group.

Please bring with you a road worthy bike, your helmet, clothes you are comfortable cycling in, easy to remove layers work the best, a waterproof jacket, (as you never know), a drink for along the way & a snack for our "alfresco" stop if needed.

Please do not attend the ride if you have Covid symptoms, have someone in your household who does or if you have tested positive on a recent Covid test. Cancelling your place won't be a problem just let us know before the ride so we are not waiting unnecessarily for you, especially if it's raining.

All participants on a British cycling ride are now required to provide all their own cycling repair equipment to comply with self-sufficiency rules.
So you will need to make sure you are as self-sufficient as possible on the ride, to avoid sharing tools if any repairs are needed to your bike.
You will need to bring with you and carry your own repair kit with spares as well as know how to use them (a spare inner tube that fits your bike, set of tyre levers and hand pump are the minimum)

We ride in a small group of 6 or fewer people & maintain a socially distanced two metres apart when we stop for our designated drink or snack breaks.
Any questions or concerns about attending just give the ride Leader a quick message on the rider's tab below
