Cycling UK Stevenage - Easy ABC Ride

We explore many of the ancient lanes that have now become cycleways and find the many hidden green spaces across the town. These rides are a sociable way to explore our cycleway network and find useful routes to use when cycling for everyday journeys.

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. 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. We organise free rides for Cycling UK members. If you are not a Cycling UK member you are welcome to join us for up to 3 rides. After 3 rides you will need to join Cycling UK if you would like to continue to join our led rides, more details about membership at www.cyclinguk.org/join-today

Most of the route is on the traffic free cycleway network.

There is no planned stop but we do not rush. Costello's cafe at Fairlands park is open before and after the ride for hot drinks and food. On the second Saturday each month, we visit the Farmers' Market which takes place on the High Street in the Old Town.

Bring a drink and snack if you wish and an extra layer or waterproof according to the forecast.

New and returning riders are very welcome.
