WELCOME TO CYCLE SOMERSET
Cycle Somerset is a friendly, social cycling club offering varied rides throughout the countryside surrounding Taunton and sometimes further afield
We all enjoy cycling with other people, taking in coffee/lunch stops along the way.
Our leaders regularly hold rides of between 20 and 40 miles and also offer shorter rides for those returning to cycling, from time to time.
