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.

Use the Menu  to find out more . You will get a warm welcome if you join us.
