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.

Out and About to Braziers
Vivary Park
10:00 – 14:30
I'm starting the ride at 10am instead of 9.30 as the weather forecast at the moment seems to think it's marginally better at 10am. If it's very rainy on Tuesday I will cancel the ride. If it's only a bit wet we can do a shorter route.
Members should ensure they sign up for a ride that is suitable for them
New members are advised to contact the ride leader if in any doubt
