We will complete a 6-mile circuit using the Stevenage cycleway system and quiet link roads.
Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult - they should be booked on as an additional rider. Where we have more than 8 participants, we will split into 2 groups, each with a leader.

These rides are a sociable way to explore our cycleway network and find useful routes to use when cycling for everyday journeys. There are some hilly sections but we never rush, there is always time to pause for a drink at the top. We explore many of the ancient lanes that have now become cycleways and find the many hidden green spaces across the town.

If you do not have a bike of your own, you can still take part in a ride by taking advantage of the special free bike hire for ABC rides from the Stevenage Cycling Hub. It is essential that you book this in advance by emailing [email protected] by the day before the ride.
