We are starting a series of rides for people who are returning to cycling. The pace is gentle and we keep to quieter routes in and around Taunton. You should be able to ride 2 miles to participate.  To register for these rides please register on this website  1st ride is free. Then £10 membership due. Voluntary donation £2 towards promoting cycling. Please bring drink water, small snack and spare inner tube.  Waterproof is advisable. (These rides are seperate from the usual club  'mid week rides' and are to support people getting back on their bikes)

Please note this ride starts at 9.00am from The Brewhouse Theatre to allow for two stops. This will be a ride of around 45 miles and there will be quite a few short hills on the way out, as we skirt the edge of the Quantock Hills on our ride to Williton and the Bakelite Museum. We should arrive late morning to enjoy a well-earned tea or coffee and cake in their Tearoom. Refreshed, we can look around the museum (cost £5) and marvel at the pre-plastic items of yesteryear. From here, we will ride a distance of around 3 miles to Torres Cider Farm for lunch, and possibly some cider! I aim to leave by 2.30pm. The return journey will be via Monksilver and the B3188, a much larger road than those during the morning, but with light traffic and less hills, although some are longer drags. Our route will pass through Fitzhead and Halse, aiming to arrive in Taunton at around 5.00pm. Leader: Ian Please register using the ticketing system, though if you realy can't work it please email Ian USING THIS LINK  

A leisurely ride of about 18 miles starting at French Weir park mainly along cycle paths and country lanes. Coffee stop at Hestercombe.  NOTE the early start.

Apologies to Tim and Dave for the wrong date on the original of this ride. The day has now moved to Thursday and the week is right. A club ride out to Kelways Garden Centre for lunch and a further coffee stop on the return leg, weather permitting (the 2 week forecast site says good). 32-35 mile fairly flattish ride.   Please book in the usual way using the ticketing system, but if you really have problems with that please CLICK HERE AND EMAIL   Leader: Arthur

Tour de Ilminstre: The crowds will be out in force to see us pass (Immaculate riding, stylish dress sense etc) on Tuesday...maybe! This is a slightly longer ride, 25 - 30 miles, to the Arts Centre at Ilminster, up the hill at Stoke St Mary and returning via Curry Mallet and 13 bends. It should be a little cooler but bring your drinks and snacks as usual. Ride leader: Paul

The Daisy Dawdle: This is a familiar but favourite ride out to Bishops Lydeard for a coffee stop at the Daisy Cafe, the reverse route through Bishops Hull, via Halse Ash Common and returning via Kingston. We are relying on the weather, it will be hot, so the usual rules apply. Apologies for a lack of info last week, but a foreign posting and unreliable Wi-Fi, due to Brexit negotiations, prevented it! Ride Leaders: Tracey and Pam

N.B. Please brng your own picnic lunch to this ride.   Starting at 10.30 at the bandstand in Vivary Park. We will wend our way through the beautiful country lanes of Somerset as we head towards the distant Blackdowns. It will be quite hilly in places with one storker of a climb. However, once we gain the summit it will be more or less downhill till we reach the lunch stop in Tim's garden. Here the riders will consume their own picnic they have brought with them and this will then be followed by strawberries and cream. The return trip to Taunton will be short and simple. Total mileage approx 28. Returning to Taunton at 3pm.   Leader Tim S
